Violist Frédéric Lambert and pianist Chloé Dumoulin are a compelling chamber music duo celebrated for their expressive synergy and commitment to contemporary repertoire.

Lambert, a Montréal-based violist with a doctorate in viola performance from McGill University, has built a distinguished career as a performer, educator, and chamber musician. He is regularly invited to perform with major ensembles such as Les Violons du Roy, the Société de musique contemporaine du Québec, and the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal, and serves as principal violist of the Orchestre symphonique de Laval. As a founding member of the Lloyd Carr-Harris String Quartet and longtime member of the Molinari Quartet, Lambert’s artistry has been recognized with numerous Prix Opus distinctions from the Conseil québécois de la musique, underscoring his contribution to Québec’s concert scene. He is also a respected pedagogue at both McGill University and the Université du Québec à Montréal, and a cultural commentator on Radio-Canada.

Chloé Dumoulin has garnered international acclaim for her sensitive touch, rich tonal palette, and dynamic musical presence. Named among CBC’s “30 Hot Canadian Classical Musicians Under 30,” Dumoulin has performed extensively across Canada, the United States, Europe, and Asia, appearing as soloist with orchestras such as the Orchestre Métropolitain and the Orchestre symphonique de Laval. A laureate of major competitions including the Concours Prix d’Europe, she holds a double master’s degree in solo and collaborative piano and has graduated with an Artist Diploma from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London as a Leverhulme Arts Scholar. An ardent chamber musician, she has collaborated with instrumentalists and vocalists on renowned festivals and recital series.

Together, Lambert and Dumoulin released their acclaimed album Nouveau Lyrisme in June 2025, a richly curated collection of contemporary works for viola and piano that explores lyrical expression across the modern Québec repertoire. The recording—noted for its intimate dialogue, bold contrasts, and emotional depth—has been recognized with a Prix Opus nomination, highlighting the duo’s artistic vision and impact on the contemporary chamber music landscape.
