Élyse Lamanque Girard
After a one-year stay in Belgium where she had the chance to work with Frédéric de Roos at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, Élyse Lamanque Girard is back in Montreal with a balanced and current approach to recorder playing. Always searching for new ways to present old and contemporary repertoire in a thoughtful interpretation, Élyse offers her energetic personality on stage.In recent years, Élyse also had the opportunity to perform at many festivals and musical events of all kinds, including the Montreal Baroque Festival and the Barock Festival in Sittard, Netherlands. She also collaborated on various occasions with the Compagnie Baroque Mont-Royal, Collegium Musicum Ensemble of Brussels and Ensemble Caprice, amongst others. In addition to her numerous participations in concerts of all kinds, she actively teaches at Jocelyne Laberge School of Music and at Vincent-d'Indy School of Music. Élyse completed a graduate diploma in performance under the direction of Matthias Maute at McGill University.
Jérémie de Pierre
Naturally endowed with a love for the arts, a dramatic sensibility, and a taste for the baroque aesthetic, Jérémie de Pierre is fiercely devoted to discovering repertoire, both popular and forgotten, of the XVIth, XVIIth, and XVIIIthcenturies. Beyond his role as artistic director of Les Méandres, Jérémie has performed with Ensemble Caprice, La Compagnie Baroque du Mont-Royal, at the Boston Early Music Festival, with the McGill Baroque Orchestra, the studio of UdeM, at the Montréal Baroque Festival and during masterclasses with Cléa Galhano, Hervé Niquet, Barthold Kuijken or Alexis Kossenko. A passionate researcher, Jérémie edits and transcribes numerous parts from the repertoire, always striving to bring honour to his instrument: the recorder.
