<p style="font-weight: 400;">Saluée comme « un immense talent [avec] une puissance cachée et une maturité étonnante » (Bart van Oort), la harpiste taïwano-américaine <strong>Noël</strong> <strong>Wan</strong> (1994) a fait ses débuts internationaux avec l’Orchestre symphonique d’Utrecht en 2010. Soliste acclamée, elle s’est produite en Amérique du Nord, en Europe et en Asie et a joué au Carnegie Hall, au het Muziekgebouw, à l’Eslite Hall et au Yellow Barn Summer Festival. Ses engagements pour la saison 2023‑2024 comprennent une tournée de concerts Début Atlantique et des concerts présentés par le Virginia Harp Center Festival, le Taiwan Harp Festival, le Harpenning Festival, la Kitchener-Waterloo Chamber Music Society et la St. John’s Elora Recital Series.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Artiste attachée à la collaboration dans la création musicale, Noël aime se produire avec divers ensembles et travailler avec des compositeurs vivants. Elle est actuellement harpiste principale du Tallahassee SymphonyOrchestra et participe activement à des projets de musique de chambre, en se concentrant sur des œuvres de compositeurs des XX<sup>e</sup> et XXI<sup>e</sup> siècles. Dédiée à l’interprétation de la musique contemporaine, elle a créé des pièces de Krists Auznieks, Dmitry Tymoczko, Daníel Bjarnason, Kyong-Mee Choi et Augusta Reed Thomas. À l’automne 2023, elle entamera un projet de commande pour harpe électroacoustique, généreusement financé par la Florida State University.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Noël est la première harpiste taïwanaise à remporter la médaille d’or au concours international de harpe des États-Unis, l’un des concours de harpe les plus prestigieux au monde, et elle est la plus jeune lauréate du premier prix dans l’histoire du concours mondial de harpe.

<p style="font-weight: 400;">Ancienne élève de la University of Illinois (BM, DMA) et de la Yale School of Music (MM), Noël est tout aussi à l’aise dans ses rôles d’interprète, d’universitaire et d’éducatrice. Elle a présenté ses travaux à l’American Harp Society Summer Institute et à l’American String Teachers Association National Conference et a contribué à <em>Harp Column</em>, <em>The Collective</em>, <em>The American Harp Journal</em> et <em>VAN Magazine</em>.</p>

Née dans la région de la baie de Californie, Noël s’est depuis lors établie dans de nombreux endroits pour y vivre. Elle et son mari, le chef de chœur canadien Patrick Murray, partagent aujourd’hui leur temps entre Toronto (Ontario) et Tallahassee (Floride), où ils vivent avec leurs chats tuxedo Georgina et Simone.</p>

<p>Young Québec harpist, <b>Valérie Milot</b>, is constantly challenging the clichés of her instrument and has been described as a “very refined” artist by La Presse, Montréal.</p>
<p>Upon completion of her studies with Caroline Lizotte at the Conservatoire de musique de Trois-Rivières, Valérie was unanimously awarded the Prix avec grande distinction and the Wilfrid-Pelletier bursary. She then pursued her training in New York with world-renowned harpist Rita Costanzi.</p>
<p>Valérie has received numerous competition awards, including the prestigious Prix d’Europe 2008, becoming the first harpist in almost 100 years to receive this honour.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Violinist <b>Antoine Bareil </b>is a graduate of the Conservatoire de musique de Trois-Rivières where he received two Wilfrid-Pelletier Scholarships. Mr. Bareil also spent two years at the Mozarteum University in Salzburg, Austria and is a first prize winner at the Canadian Music Competition.</p>
<p>Antoine has worked with a number of notable artists such as Vladimir Spivakkov, Wynton Marsalis, Vadim Repine, and Mstislav Rostropovitch. He was a member of the Salzburg Chamber Soloists (Austria) from 2002 to 2006 and is a three-time guest concertmaster of the Deutsche Kammerakademie Neuss am Rhein (Germany).</p>
<p>Recordings to his credit include two CDs with cellist Sébastien Lépine, and three with Valérie Milot. Antoine performs on a violin Jean Baptiste Vuillaume and a François Nicolas Voirin bow, courtesy of the Canimex Foundation.</p>
