Marie Magistry, Soprano

The distinctive coloration of her voice together with her musical intelligence and refined interpretations have allowed Marie to carve out a select place for herself on Canada’s music scene. She has also made appearances at some of the great concert halls and music festivals of the United States, South America, and France. 

Her clear yet warm soprano is suited to a varied repertoire ranging from Renaissance to contemporary music. She is in high demand, regularly collaborating with such high-profile ensembles as Les Violons du Roy, Studio de Musique Ancienne (SMAM), Arion Baroque Orchestra, Ensemble Caprice, Les Boréades, Clavecin en concert, Les Idées heureuses, I Musici, and Orchestre symphonique de Montréal. Her passion for contemporary music has led to her involvement in a number of premieres with the likes of SMCQ Contemporary Music Society and the chamber choir VivaVoce. 

In addition to numerous radio appearances on CBC and SRC, Marie can be heard on the Atma, Naxos, Analekta, and Sony labels in recordings that have received numerous awards, including a Juno in 2009. Other recognition includes a number of Opus Awards from Conseil québécois de la musique.
