Gabriel Brun

Gabriel began his musical journey in the Sea Cadets at the age of 13 with the snare drum. A few years later, he switched to the flute when he joined his high school's music program and joined the extracurricular band, which allowed him to participate in a music competition in Florida. Gabriel then studied at Lionel-Groulx College for 2 years in the classical music program with Josée Poirier as flute teacher. Later, in September 2018, Gabriel joined the ranks of the Orchestre à Vents de Musiques de Films, in Montreal, where he performs the most memorable themes from the video game universe, including "The Legend of Zelda", "Super Mario", "Mega Man", etc. This allows him to perform in some of Quebec's popular culture events such as the Montreal Comic Con.
