Biographies

 

 

Beverley is a well-known Montreal artist who sings in Irish Gaelic. She loves singing ballads but is equally at home in the jigs and reels.  She accompanies Maeve on bodhran and djemhe.  Because of her wide vocal and stylistic range, Beverley is in demand as a performer, and is the featured singer in the annual Montreal Bloomsday.  She presently teaches in Concordia University's Music Department.

 

 

 

Deborah has performed extensively in Toronto, England and Montreal - initially on recorder (with such ensembles as the Studio de  Musique Ancienne de Montréal, the Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra and the Toronto Consort) and subsquently on fiddle.  She teaches privately and at SIAMSA, and regularly hosts various Irish music sessions in Montreal.

 

 

Isabelle est impliquée parallelement dans le milieu de la musique quebecoise et celui de la musique celtique depuis ses accents de l'Irlande jusqu'a ceux de la Bretagne et de l'Asturie.  Elle joue de la flûte depuis plus de sept ans.  Son apprentissage tout instinctif de la musique traditionnelle colore son jeu de cette spontaneité - necessaire à la transmission de cette tradition orale.

 

 

 

Susan originally trained in early music, studying the harpsichord.  She then bought a celtic harp on a trip to Wales and joined a mediaeval music ensemble, Sanz Cuer, where for twelve years she played harp, psaltery and capped reeds.  She sang for ten years with Dragana, the Montreal women's  Bulgarian and Balkan choir.  She performs often as a solo harp-player, and with former members of Bard.
