The French flutist, oboist and conductor, Hugo Reyne, started playing the recorder and the oboe at a very early age. Within a short space of time, he received numerous diplomas and the highest awards from several conservatoires, to say nothing of the many first prizes he obtained at national level. In 1981, he was awarded first prize at the Hurtebise international recorder competition and in 1984, he won the chamber music award at the Concours International de Bruges
