Michelle Gregoire is a composer, jazz pianist and jazz educator in Calgary (https://michellegregoire.com/, https://michellegregoire.com/press/biographie-de-michelle-gregoire/). She has been a freelance musician since 1984 and has performed many concerts with the Winnipeg Jazz Orchestra. She has a Master's in Jazz Performance from Florida State University and has been teaching at the Ambrose University in Calgary since 2014, while continuing to compose and perform, both as a leader and as a sideman.
Compositrice de talent et interprète polyvalente, la pianiste Michelle Grégoire vit couramment à Calgary, originaire du Manitoba. Musicienne pigiste depuis 1984, elle obtient une maîtrise en musique à l’université Florida State (FSU), et s'est présentée plusieurs fois avec L'orchestre de Jazz de Winnipeg. Elle enseigne présentement à Ambrose University à Calgary, et continue d'être engagée comme musicienne, compositrice et directrice d'orchestre.
Andrina Turenne (https://www.andrinaturenne.com/) is an established singer, songwriter and musician with strong ties to her Francophone-Métis roots and her home community of Winnipeg. She has toured on five continents, performed at several major international festivals, and is currently working on her solo project.
Ariane Jean is poised, gentle, and ripples with an intuitive, emotional nature. Her intimate, sometimes melancholy jazz, ambient, and pop-infused songs tell of anger and forgetting, of shedding one’s skin, and finding refuge in imaginary worlds. Her eponymous EP is expected on October 16th of 2021 under her stage name, Sala.
Ariane Jean. Ancienne membre de Chic Gamine (lauréat d’un Prix Juno) et Madrigaïa, s’exprime dans des tons clairs, des nuances subtiles dans ses compositions aux influences de musiques pop, jazz et ambiantes. Ariane lance son premier EP sous le nom d’artiste Sala en automne 2020.
