Tanya LaPerrière

Holding a Master of Violin Performance from the Royal Conservatory of Brussels under the direction of Mira Glodeanu, as well as from McGill University under the tutelage of Chantal Rémillard, Tanya LaPerrière is distinguished by the elegance and passion of her interpretations. She performs as a solo violinist on Canadian and international stages with some of the country’s most renowned ensembles, including Ensemble Caprice, Constantinople, the Studio de musique ancienne de Montréal, Les Idées
heureuses, and Clavecin en concert. Her concerts take her across Canada, Europe, Asia and the United States, both on the violin and the viola d’amore, a 14-string instrument she holds especially dear. It was with this instrument that she won a Juno Award this year with Ensemble Constantinople for their album Il Ponte di Leonardo.

Madame LaPerrière’s discography includes more than twenty recordings, many of which have received Opus Awards and Juno Awards. The latest album by Pallade Musica, Schieferlein’s Trio Sonatas (nominated for an Opus Award), is the result of her Master’s research in Brussels. In addition to her solo career, she is a founding member, solo violinist, and co-artistic director of Pallade Musica.
