MIDNIGHT POUTINE

HISTORICAL FLUTES

I play historical flutes and piccolos from the Renaissance, Baroque, Classical and Romantic eras. I've performed with countless ensembles including Tafelmusik, Arion, Ensemble Caprice, Les Idées heureuses, La Bande Montréal Baroque, Autour de la flûte and many others.  I have also served as a jury member for doctoral recitals in Early Music.

 

Though I am highly specialized in the chamber music of the French Baroque, my period instrument repertoire covers over 300 years of solo, chamber and orchestral music. I have a Mmus in Historical Performance from the Schulich School of Music at McGill.
