Recipient of a doctoral degree from The Juilliard School of Music, complemented by studies at the École Normale de Paris - Alfred Cortot, this French-Canadian artist is now recognized as one of America’s most virtuosic organists. Recent highlights of her vast performance activities include her debuts at Davies Hall in San Francisco and Disney Hall in Los Angeles as well as a fourteen-concert tour of England and Germany. Her debut CD for the British Acis label was praised as a “superbly produced” and “clear, tightly focused recording” (Fanfare Magazine), and received the highest recommendation for its “profound and searching performances” (Church Music Quarterly).

Co-sponsored with the San Joaquin Valley Chapter, American Guild of Organists.
