Annie Trépanier, violin

Violinist Annie Trépanier's playing has been hailed by The Boston Globe as "supercharged, clear-headed, yet soulful." As a founding member of the acclaimed Avery Ensemble and an active member of the Hartford-based chamber music collaborative Cuatro Puntos, she has performed across Canada, North and South America and Europe. She has been heard regularly in national broadcasts on Radio-Canada, CBC and NPR and has recorded for Toccata Classics, Navona, Ablaze, Arkadash and Metier labels. Those recordings have won critical acclaim from highly regarded publications such as The Strad: "The Avery Ensemble's musicians' great love for this music shines through in every bar, thanks to the eloquence of their tone and phrasing.", and Fanfare Magazine: "Here are four musicians whose technical perfection and polish are equally matched by the sumptuous sound they produce and the depth of interpretive insight they exhibit." Ms. Trepanier has been concertmaster of the Salisbury Sinfonietta since 2015 and has performed at Loon Lake Live!, a summer chamber music festival in the Adirondack, for the past five years. She holds degrees from McGill University, the University of Ottawa and The Hartt School.
