Julien Grégoire

A student at the University of Montreal in the Seventies, Julien Grégoire is now a professor at the same faculty, and also teaches at Cégep Marie-Victorin.  His long performance career includes regular performances with the Nouvel Ensemble Moderne, the SMCQ, and Ensemble Transmission, as well as engagements with classical ensembles including the Grands Ballets Canadiens, the Early Music Studio of Montreal, and I Musici. With Guy Pelletier, he formed Duo Traces, which derives its creations from recorded improvisations.  As a composer, Grégoire often finds his inspiration in images and form, adding unique textures to his works.
