Anne Robert

Violinist Anne Robert is acclaimed for a playing style marked by “sensitivity, sweetness of tone, dexterity, and elegant phrasing” (The Strad Magazine, London).

An accomplished artist, she maintains an active chamber music career that regularly brings her to Canada, Europe, and Asia.

First violinist with the Montreal Symphony Orchestra for twelve years, she is a founding member of Trio Hochelaga, established in 2000, and frequently tours with organist Jacques Boucher.

She co-founded MAESTRIA, an artistic and philanthropic project for which she received the Exceptional Commitment Award in 2018 from the Quebec Breast Cancer Foundation, presented by the National Bank of Canada.

Trained at Indiana University, the Royal Academy of Music in London, and the Conservatoire de musique de Montréal, she earned the highest performance diplomas along with numerous distinctions.

She has recorded more than forty albums that highlight the breadth of her repertoire and her strong affinity for French music. A respected pedagogue, she teaches at the Conservatoire de musique de Montréal and at the Orford Music Academy.
