His compositions have been performed by ensembles throughout Canada.
Gagnon was born in Trois-Pistoles, Quebec.
He began teaching himself the piano as a young child; in 1951, at the age of 13, he began taking music lessons at the Rimouski Seminary with Father Philippe-Antoine Lavoie with whom he studied until 1958.
In 1960 he entered the Conservatoire de musique du Québec à Québec where he was an organ student with Henri Gagnon.

In 1965 Gagnon won the Prix d'Europe and was awarded additional scholarships from the Canada Council and the Quebec Ministry of Education.

He studied for a short period of time at the Institut de Sonologie of Utrecht in 1966 and in 1967 at the Geneva Conservatory with André-François Marescotti.
