Internationally acclaimed Brazilian violinist and violist Amaro Dubois has established himself as one of the leading advocates for Latin American repertoire and contemporary music of his generation. Praised by Fanfare Magazine for his “utmost commitment and sensitivity to the composers’ diverse voices,” Dubois enjoys a multifaceted career as a soloist, chamber musician, orchestral artist, recording artist, educator, and arts administrator, with performances throughout the United States, Brazil, Europe, and Latin America.

​

A passionate advocate for Latin American music and historically underrepresented composers, Dubois has appeared as soloist with orchestras in Brazil and the United States while premiering newly commissioned works by leading contemporary composers. His performances combine technical brilliance with an engaging musical voice that has earned international recognition through major competitions, including the World Classical Music Awards Grand Prize, multiple Gold Prize awards, the King’s Peak International Music Competition, and honors in the London Classical Music Competition.

​

Equally active as a recording artist, Dubois has released five commercially distributed albums through internationally recognized labels including PARMA Recordings/Naxos USA and Centaur Records, with additional recording projects currently in production. His acclaimed album Luz, dedicated to Latin American music for viola and piano, received consideration for the 2024 Latin GRAMMY® Awards, while his recent release, Esperanza: A Journey of Hope, celebrates the music of Mexican composer José Elizondo and continues his mission of bringing Latin American repertoire to audiences worldwide.

​

Dubois holds a Doctor of Musical Arts in Viola Performance from the University of Georgia, where he was awarded the prestigious Presidential ArtsLab Fellowship, a Master of Music in Viola Performance from the University of Alabama, a postgraduate specialization (Master’s) in Chamber Music, and a Bachelor of Music in Violin Performance from the Brazilian Conservatory of Music. His dual background as both violinist and violist has led to professional performances with numerous orchestras throughout the United States and Brazil, including the Augusta Symphony Orchestra, Pensacola Symphony Orchestra, Savannah Philharmonic, Mobile Symphony Orchestra, Huntsville Symphony Orchestra, and many others.

​

Beyond the concert stage, Dubois is a passionate educator committed to mentoring the next generation of musicians. He served as a Teaching Assistant in the Viola Studio at the University of Georgia while completing his Doctor of Musical Arts degree as a recipient of the prestigious Presidential ArtsLab Fellowship. His teaching extends through a thriving international private studio and distinguished festival appointments, where he combines artistic excellence with a student-centered approach that inspires young musicians to pursue the highest levels of performance.

​

For the past four summers, Dubois has served as Violin and Viola Faculty at the New England Music Camp in Maine, one of the nation's longest-running and most respected summer music institutions. There, he teaches private lessons, coaches chamber ensembles, and collaborates closely with exceptional young musicians from across the United States, including students from Juilliard and other leading conservatories and university music programs throughout the Northeast. In addition to his teaching responsibilities, he has helped develop and expand educational initiatives that enrich the camp's artistic environment, fostering a culture of musical curiosity, collaboration, and excellence inspired by the remarkable dedication and talent of its students.

​

In addition to his performing career, Dubois recently joined the Augusta Symphony Orchestra's administrative leadership team, serving as Personnel & Artistic Operations Manager and Educational Operations Manager, where he oversees orchestra personnel, artistic planning, and educational initiatives while continuing to perform as one of the organization's principal artistic leaders.

​

Dubois performs on a remarkable nineteenth-century viola crafted by the celebrated Hungarian luthier Otto Erdesz. With its warm, resonant voice and exceptional depth of color, the instrument has become an integral part of his artistic identity, enabling performances of extraordinary expressive range—from cornerstone works of the viola repertoire to contemporary world premieres.

​

Beyond music, Dubois is also an accomplished amateur race driver and dedicated motorsports enthusiast. Competing in high-performance driving events and Time Attack competitions throughout the southeastern United States, he recently earned a class victory in regional Time Attack competition. For Dubois, racing and music are remarkably alike—both demand unwavering focus, technical precision, thoughtful preparation, and the ability to perform at the highest level under pressure.

​

The pursuit of continual refinement unites these two passions and shapes his approach to every performance, whether on the concert stage or on the racetrack. Whether performing as a soloist with orchestra, recording new works, mentoring young musicians, leading artistic initiatives, or competing on the racetrack, Amaro Dubois approaches every endeavor with curiosity, discipline, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. His career reflects a rare combination of artistic vision, educational leadership, and the relentless pursuit of mastery—qualities that continue to inspire audiences, students, and fellow musicians around the world.
