Fabiola Toupin / Manu Trudel
se connaissent et travaillent ensemble depuis 1996. Tous deux de Trois-Rivières, et possédant des carrières solo, ils se lient d’amitié et rapidement, développent une grande complicité. Les compositions de Manu deviennent le nouveau répertoire de Fabiola. Leur passion commune pour la poésie les amènent à transformer certains poèmes en chanson, ce qui permet à Fabiola de nourrir son amour des mots et à Manu d’excercer sont grand talent de compositeur. Depuis, ils ont présenté de nombreux spectacles au Québec, en France et en Espagne. Ce sont des artistes qui aiment la rencontre avec le public; leur plaisir est contagieux.

Karen Kaderavek
enjoys a diverse and multi-faceted career. In addition to her professional life as a concert cellist, she is also a published poet, playwright and actress. As solo cellist and chamber music artist she has performed throughout North America and Europe. These appearances include: Sound Ways 11th International New Music Festival, St. Petersburg, Russia; Festival Cervantino, Mexico; Moon in August Festival, Greece; soloist in over a dozen recitals and chamber music performances as Consultant to the Saint Lucia School of Music, West Indies; solo cellist for Banchetto Musicale’s “Messiah” performances at Carnegie Hall; principal cellist for numerous Mark Morris Dance Group performances (Chicago and New York) and three solo recitals at the Edinburgh Festival, Scotland. The New York Times describes Ms. Kaderavek’s playing of the C.P.E. Bach “Double Concerto” at the Mostly Mozart Festival, New York, as displaying a “weird beauty.” Ms. Kaderavek has also performed all six Bach Suites at
one of Bach’s resident churches, the St. Nikolai, in Leipzig, Germany. (Ms. Kaderavek
is the first cellist to be honored with an invitation to do so in over thirty years.)
As baroque cellist, Ms. Kaderavek has performed and recorded with many of the world’s leading early music specialists including Christopher Hogwood, Joshua Rifkin, Trevor Pinnock and Andrew Parrott. These recordings can be found on the Denon, Decca, and Oiseau Lyre labels. She appears on Deutche Grammophon with Musica Antiqua Köln, and on over a dozen recordings for Telarc as principal cellist with Boston Baroque, an ensemble nominated three times for a Grammy. Notably - as a modern cellist - her first solo CD, “Cello Alchemy” was released in February 1999 on the GM Recordings label and has received critical acclaim. The repertoire consists of 20th century Eastern European and Russian music and includes world premieres of three previously undiscovered pieces. Excerpts from this recording have been featured numerous times on NPR’s “All Things Considered.”
Ms. Kaderavek holds one Master’s Degree in Music Performance from the University of Michigan and another from Concordia University, Montreal, in Interdisciplinary Studies (music, theatre and psychology). For two consecutive years at Concordia (2000 – 2001), she was awarded the Philip Cohen Award for her work as “an outstanding instrumental performer who demonstrates high academic achievement in one or more disciplines outside of music.” Karen Kaderavek currently teaches in the Humanities Department at John Abbott College, Montreal, and is in an Artist Associate at Concordia University’s Leonardo Research Project. She performs on a 1733 Testore cello.
