Marianne Trudel: piano / composition, improvisation
Lévy Bourbonnais: harmonica / improvisation
The combination of harmonica and piano, as proposed by the Duo
Trudel-Bourbonnais, is unique in Canada. Pianist Marianne
Trudel and harmonicist Lévy Bourbonnais master the
art of improvisation with brio, lending originality to each performance and
excitement to their profoundly touching music. The artists’ charisma, their
ability to communicate with audiences and their remarkable complicity on stage,
lends their shows an air of freshness and spontaneity. Recently, the duo received
the OFQJ-Rideau award after their outstanding performance at the 2009 Rideau awards
gala.
