During her early training Karine attended several summer programs such as National Youth Orchestra of Canada, National Academy Orchestra of Canada, Ohio Light Opera (Wooster, OH) Music Academy of the West (Santa Barbara, CA) and Pacific Music Festival (Sapporo, Japan). Karine has also performed in concert with the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra and l’Orchestre Symphonique de Sherbrooke.
As a chamber musician, Karine was a co-founder of the Estria Woodwind Quintet (1997-2001). During those five years as a member of the quintet, the group commissioned and premiered several pieces composed by French Canadian composers such as Walter Boudreau, Robert Lemay and Denis Gougeon.
Also co-founder of the Éolia Woodwind Trio, conducted by Jason Caslor, she was a member of the ‘Group of Seven’, who performed the complete version of Stravinsky’s Soldier’s Tale and Michael Daugherty Dead Elvis for solo bassoon and ensemble.
It is with pleasure that since 2005 during the TBSO’s off-season, Karine returns to the Eastern Townships as the Student Concerts Coordinator of the Orford Arts Centre where in 1996 she was a student herself.
