Maximilien
Brisson

Tenor and bass trombone

Roots
Canada

Study
I studied at the Université de Montréal, at McGill University, at the Koninklijk Conservatorium Den Haag and at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis with Catherine Motuz and Charles Toet.

Professionally
As a freelance musician I play early music and lead two ensembles, teach at the HfK Bremen and prepare sheet music editions.

Why
I chose early music to choose my own path and to be artistic, and because it combines creativity and knowledge.

Elective Affinities
I love to read, travel and I miss playing hockey. I am a big fan of Tolkien’s writings and mythology.
