Dubois studied at the Brussels Conservatory (with Alexandre Cornélis), graduated in 1913, but continued to study with Cornélis until the latter’s death in 1917. Subsequently he took lessons with Eugène Ysaÿe. He formed a duo with the pianist Marcel Maas (1897-1950) and from 1925 played in the Trio de la Cour de Belgique. In 1927 he succeeded Eugène Ysaÿe as professor at the Brussels Conservatory. Dubois was also a skilled violin maker.

The trio was founded in 1923 as the Trio Belge, a year later, under the patronage of the belgian sovereigns, became The Trio de la Cour de Belgique. They existed for more than 25 years.
