Life
Life
Francine Aubin was born on 6 February 1938, in Paris to Richard Tremblot de la Croix and Marie-Thérèse Mauchauffée, the youngest of their five children. Her birth name was Francine Agnès Gisèle Marie-Thérèse Tremblot de la Croix. She began her musical studies at the Troyes Conservatory, taking classes in harmony, flute, piano, and music theory. Aubin continued her education at the Paris Conservatory, where she studied composition with Tony Aubin, whom she would later marry. In 1958, Francine earned the conservatory's first prize in composition. She continued on to win both the Grand Prize in composition at the Divonne-les-Bains International Competition and the first prize for piano improvisation at the Lyon International Competition. In 1969, she became the first woman to earn a Certificat d'aptitude aux fonctions de directeur de conservatoire from the conservatory. Amongst her achievements, Aubin became the director of the municipal conservatory of the 12th arrondissement of Paris, and in 1989 began her tenure as the director of the Rueil-Malmaison Conservatory and its associated symphony orchestra. Between 1970 and 1973, she took a pause from composing music to focus on her painting, which was often in a pointillist style. Aubin exhibited under the name "Tremblot de la Croix" or sometimes even just "Tremblot."
