(Quebec) The National Assembly paid tribute on Tuesday to violinist Angèle Dubeau, to mark the 25and anniversary of the creation of the La Pietà ensemble.
Posted at 3:49 p.m.
In 1997, Angèle Dubeau founded this string ensemble composed exclusively of women.
Since then, the ensemble has performed on the biggest stages around the world, in addition to recording several albums.
A motion was tabled by the Liberal MNA for Acadie, Christine St-Pierre, to give parliamentarians the chance to highlight the contribution of the ensemble and the career of the musician, who was present in the stands.
The elected officials underlined the fact that she knew how to make classical music accessible to a wide audience and that she had made Québec shine abroad with her violin and the ensemble she created.
Mme Dubeau also received the medal of the National Assembly.
