ABOUT THE COMPOSER

A versatile musician with an inquiring mind, Mathieu Lussier energetically and passionately promotes the bassoon and the Baroque bassoon as solo instruments throughout North America and Europe. He has performed as a bassoonist, soloist, or director with such ensembles as Arion (Montreal), Les Violons du Roy (Quebec City), the Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra (Toronto), and the Orchestre de la Mission Saint-Charles (Lamèque). Since 2007, he has been artistic director of the Lamèque International Baroque Music Festival. He devotes a good deal of his time to chamber music performance as a member of the Ensemble Pentaèdre de Montréal, the Caliban Quartet of Bassoonists (Toronto), and the ensemble Musica Franca. His numerous solo recordings include almost a dozen bassoon concertos by Vivaldi, Fasch, Graupner, Telemann, and Corrette; a disc of bassoon sonatas by Boismortier; three CDs of music for solo bassoon by François Devienne; and a CD of wind sextet music by Gossec. He has composed more than 30 works, many of which are regularly performed in concerts in North America, Europe, and Australia.
