While her virtuosity and musicality have seduced critics, the public has adopted Angèle Dubeau for her captivating music, her uncommon gift as a communicator, her generosity and her outstanding ability to connect with her audience. She has garnered many awards over the years, and she is one of the rare classical violinists in the world to have been awarded gold records. She has sold over 600,000 albums in her career and the works from the violinist’s discography have been streamed over 80 million times across more than 100 countries. Angèle Dubeau’s musical trajectory remains unequalled. At the Conservatoire de Musique de Montréal, she obtained a Premier Prix in violin at age 15, studying with Raymond Dessaints (Master’s Degree in Music), and a Premier Prix in Chamber Music at age 16. She then moved to New York to work with Dorothy DeLay at the prestigious Juilliard School of Music and, from 1981 to 1984, she studied in Romania with the eminent pedagogue Stefan Gheorghiu. She has won several national and international competitions. Convinced of the need to introduce classical music to a wider audience, Angèle Dubeau has been a pioneer in programming and hosting gala concerts and weekly music television shows such as the famous Radio- Canada show “Faites vos gammes”.

As a citizen, musician, artistic director and communicator, Angèle Dubeau has left her mark on Quebec society through her continuing involvement, her artistic reach, and her ability to weave long-lasting links with the public. Angèle Dubeau was introduced to the violin at a very early age, giving her first concert at the age of 5, and entering the Conservatoire de musique du Québec à Montréal at the age of 8. "As far back as I can remember, music has been part of my life," she says. "When I was very young, I realized that music, through its grandeur and its strength, could reach out across the language barrier and touch people from all cultures." At the age of 15, she was awarded First Prize with honours at the Conservatoire (the equivalent of a master’s degree) and after winning other grants and distinctions, she continued her studies at the Juilliard School of Music in New York, before going to Romania to perfect her art.
