Geneviève Gilardeau has been playing the baroque violin with Tafelmusik since 1998. She is featured on two Tafelmusik recordings: on Analekta's Baroque Feast she joins Jeanne Lamon as a soloist in Vivaldi's Concerto in a minor for two violins, and on CBC's Mozart Noir she performs a movement of Leclair's Concerto in F major. She  has been playing with the Windermere String Quartet on period instruments since 2005. She also performs regularly with the Toronto Consort, Olivier Fortin's Montréal-based Masques Ensemble, and with Kevin Mallon's Aradia Ensemble. Geneviève was born in Montreal. Nearly all of her training was in Quebec: she studied at the conservatories in Montreal and Chicoutimi, as well as at the Université de Montréal, from which she holds a Masters degree. In 1995 she came to Toronto to study at the Glenn Gould School of the Royal Conservatory with Jeanne Lamon. She is forever grateful Jeanne and to Jean-François Rivest for their support and for sharing their passion for baroque music.
