Angèle Dubeau Essentials

Since the ‘80s, Angèle Dubeau has reigned as one of Canada's most popular violinists, a virtuoso who's used her appeal to change classical conventions, whether founding the all-female string orchestra La Pietà in 1997 or becoming a powerful advocate for modern minimalist composers like Max Richter and Ludovico Einaudi. Her repertoire has always been vast, whether applying romantic fervor to Tchaikovsky's Sérénade Mélancolique, infusing Philip Glass' “Closing” with an ensemble-oriented selflessness, or enhancing the emotional tug in a reading of “Unchained Melody”. She gives an affecting interpretation to everything she touches, regardless of genre.
