PHILIPPE OSTIGUY
Musical and Artistic Director
Artistic and musical director of Les Petits Chanteurs de Laval, Les Voix Boréales and Le Chœur des Jeunes de Laval, Philippe Ostiguy has worked with the organization for more than 20 years. A classical pianist by training, he developed his love of choral singing at a very young age as a member of a boys' choir for eight years. Today a specialist in youth choirs, he is recognized for his great knowledge of the choral world, his professional rigour, his quest for excellence and above all, for his creativity, his dynamism and his passion for communicating his love of music.
Alongside his activities with Les Petits Chanteurs de Laval, Les Voix Boréales and Le Choeur des Jeunes de Laval, he teaches piano at the Maîtrise des Petits Chanteurs du Mont-Royal.
