Michel Gauthier was born in Montréal in 1957.
He has studied for five years with Bernard Lagacé, one of Québec's greatest
artists ever, famous organist and Bach scholar.
Michel came to Mount-Royal United Church in 1985. This is where he can be heard every
Sunday morning, playing the organ, the piano and conducting the Choir.
Michel currently teaches music at Collège Beaubois
(to children from "maternelle" to grade six). For more than 20 years, he has been teaching
singing as well the piano, the guitar, recorders and all other Orff instruments.
