A passionate chamber player, cellist Isabelle Bozzini is
dedicated to exploring two parallel worlds — new music of all kinds and music on
period instruments. This endeavour continuously challenges her and nourishes her
artistic aspirations. She is a founding member of the Quatuor
Bozzini which since its inception in 1999 has become one of Canada’s leading
string quartets on national and international scenes. Playing close to forty concerts
per year, the Bozzinis produce their own concert series in Montréal including the
Salon des compositeurs + Composer’s Kitchen event. They tour several times per year
in Europe, the US and Canada and have launched the label collection qb in the Fall of
2004 in collaboration with DAME. Isabelle Bozzini also works
with Kore Ensemble, and various improvising artists such as
Malcolm Goldstein, François Houle,
Benoît Delbecq, Diane Labrosse and
Jean Derome. Having collaborated for many years with
Joël Thiffault and the Montréal Baroque
Orchestra, Isabelle Bozzini now plays regularly with
Ensemble Arion. She also plays with Idées
Heureuses, Ensemble Caprice, the Studio de Musique Ancienne de Montréal, and French harpsichordist and
conductor Hervé Niquet.
