Composer Emmanuel Dubois was born in Brussels and moved to the United States in his late twenties. Following a career in international finance and college teaching, he enrolled in the Western Michigan University School of Music where he studied composition, orchestration and counterpoint with C. Curtis-Smith and Ramon Zupko.
Dubois' suite, "Of Barbed Wire and Red Roses" op. 1b, for large brass ensemble and timpani, reflecting African civil war strife, had received the Irving S. Gilmore Emerging Artist Award. In 1998, Dubois was awarded the Arts Council of Greater Kalamazoo Arts Outreach Grant for the second piano sonata op. 10 and, in 1999, he was the recipient of the Pharmacia and Upjohn Foundation Grant for the third sonata op. 11.
Dubois' compositions have been played at numerous public events including the Nuits Musicales en Armagnac summer festival in France; the Jeunes Talents concert series under the auspices of the Institut National d’Histoire de l'Art at the Auditorium Colbert, Paris; at the Kauffman Center's Merkin Hall, New York; and at Carnegie Hall's Weil Hall and Zankel Hall, New York.
