ANGÈLE DUBEAU PLAYS ON THE “DES ROSIERS” STRADIVARIUS VIOLIN (1733). “Music must not be the prerogative of the elite; it belongs to everyone.” These words by Telemann have been my motto for a very long time. What fills me with joy is knowing that my music is there with you, both in your everyday life and in the special moments. – Angèle Dubeau, O.C., C.Q., O.M., DFA
