He trained in organ, harmony and improvisation with Raymond Daveluy, at the same time studying piano and chamber music in Lise Boucher’s class at the Conservatoire de musique du Québec in Montreal, where he graduated “with great distinction.” He continued his piano studies in London with Maria Curcio, also taking part in chamber-music workshops and master classes at the Orford Arts Centre as well as in England at the International Musicians Seminar Prussia Cove. For many years François Zeitouni held the position of substitute organist at Saint Joseph’s Oratory in Montreal. He is currently organist at the Église du Gesù, where he is privileged to perform on one of the most beautiful organs in Quebec and to carry on the great musical tradition of those historical premises.
