Canadian lutenist Michel Angers embraced early music during his studies at Université Laval and is now recognized as one of the genre’s most devoted performers.
He honed his craft under the guidance of Paul Beier at the Civica Scuola di Musica Claudio Abbado in Milan.
A graduate with great distinction from the Conservatoire de Musique du Québec, Angers has received numerous cultural scholarships, including from the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec, the Tafelmusik Baroque Summer Institute in Toronto, and the Oberlin Baroque Performance Institute.
In 2006, he recorded for Radio-Canada’s “Jeunes Artistes-Espace Musique” and, in 2011, won the Prix à la création artistique for Chaudière-Appalaches from the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec.
A winner of the 2005 national final of the Canadian Music Competition, Angers is active internationally.
In addition to his projects with Laurentia, he has collaborated with Ensemble Constantinople, Le Nouvel Opéra, Les Boréades de Montréal, and others.
