ANNE-JULIE CARON
Canadian marimbist Anne-Julie Caron has made her mark on the world musical scene with her sensitivity, depth, and wide spectrum of tonal colors. Recognized as a soloist and chamber musician, she has been noticed by the Argentinean composer Guillo Espel as “one of his favorite marimbists in all the world.” The Vancouver Sun wrote: “Anne-Julie Caron performed with a talent reminiscent of Evelyn Glennie”.
She has won the 2007 Opus Prize “Discovery of the year”, the 2nd Prize at the 2006 International Marimba Competition in Linz, Austria, and first prize at two of the most prestigious Canadian competitions: the 2005 Montreal Symphony Standard Life Competition and the 2004 Prix d’Europe.
Ms. Caron will be appearing in solo performances throughout Canada during the 2010 -2011 season with a concert tour planned in the Maritimes as well as a recital in Whitehorse, Yukon and concerto performances with the Montreal, Québec and the Sherbrooke Symphony Orchestras. Ms. Caron will also be active internationally, having received invitations to perform at the Zeltsman Marimba Festival (Wisconsin, U.S.A.) and the PerKumania Percussion Festival (Paris, France) where she will present a marimba clinic and perform in concert with Emmanuel Séjourné.
