Théodore Dubois (24 August 1837 – 11 June 1924) was a French Romantic composer, organist, and music teacher. After study at the Paris Conservatoire, Dubois won France's premier musical prize, the Prix de Rome in 1861. He became an organist and choirmaster at several well-known churches in Paris, and at the same time was a professor in the Conservatoire. In 1896 he succeeded Ambroise Thomas as the Conservatoire's director. As a composer, Dubois was seen as capable and tasteful, but not strikingly original or inspired. His books on music theory were influential, and remained in use for many years.

Active since 2000, the Hochelaga Trio has distinguished itself as one of the dominant chamber music ensembles in Quebec and Canada. The name "Hochelaga", which the Montreal trio bears, means "beaver dam" in the Iroquois language. The Hochelaga Trio is dedicated to the repertoire of chamber music for trio, ranging from the classical era to today's music, especially the romantic and post-romantic periods. The Trio performs regularly in Canada and on international stages, with numerous recordings cover a repertoire ranging from Arensky to little-known French composers from the early 20th century.
