Formed in 2016, Duo Cordelia features violinist and composer Vanessa Marcoux and pianist Marie-Christine Poirier who seek to challenge audiences’ experiences and expectations of chamber music. A noted ensemble active on the Canadian classical music scene, Duo Cordelia’s mission is to expand the possibilities of a classical concert by introducing improvisation, an array of exciting repertoire from the 20th and 21st century, and arrangements of traditional melodies with original compositions.

This rich combination of classical repertoire and lesser-known works allows the listener to draw new bridges between musical universes that would otherwise be dissociated. From Shostakovich to Philip Glass, the result is a touching and unique concert experience which goes straight to the heart of our deep connection with music.
