Charles Wugk Sabatier



CHARLES WUGK SABATIER (1819-1862) was a pianist, composer, and teacher. His father was an immigrant from Saxony named Wugk, and under this name he was registered from 1838-40 as a student at the Paris Conservatory; the name Sabatier must have been added early in his professional career. He was born in France and came to Montreal in 1848, where he taught, among others O Canada composer Calixa Lavallée and composed at least 30 pieces.
