2014 | Children's Album of the Year | Marie-Claude | | The JUNO Awards

Forever a child at heart, Marie-Claude has always believed that the only limits we have in life are those we create for ourselves. It is therefore not surprising that this accomplished artist and singer-songwriter has recently launched her newest musical endeavor as a children's performer where the boundless world of kids' imaginations can come to life. Mon coffret à surprises is Marie-Claude's fifth recording, having previously released two solo CDs and two more with the internationally acclaimed vocal group Madrigaïa (1998-2006). Since the release of her CD in December 2012, Marie-Claude has received four star reviews (Échos-vedettes), has been acclaimed by educators and was recently nominated for a Western Canadian Music Awards (2013). She has toured all over Manitoba and as far as Montreal. She also works closely with schools offering performances and workshops exploring arts education with kids of all ages. It is Marie-Claude's passion and love for kids that has inspired this project where her songs encourage human interaction through games, activities and communication. With her playful musical concepts, she entices children away from technology and invites them to rediscover the world around them, to imagine the world they can't see and spend quality time with friends and family.
