ABOUT ME

ÉMILIEN DUROCHER

As a violinist, I have always believed that I should pass on my knowledge to others and share my experience! Having started playing the violin at the age of 6, I have gained valuable experience in the field of music through numerous performances, lessons, various training sessions, etc... I underwent classical training from a young age and learned folk/traditional music within my family. It's where I truly discovered how versatile the violin can be in playing all styles, and it's not just about following sheet music and standing straight... Feel free to look around my website!

MY JOURNEY

Having started playing the violin at the age of 6, I quickly had the opportunity to participate in shows and competitions on stage. Initially, I performed in shows at the school where I learned the violin and later taught. I was fortunate to participate and win "Primaire en Spectacle" at the age of 11. I took part in "Secondaire en Spectacle" from my second year of high school, where I won the provincial final with the distinction of the "Jury Prize." I was invited to several major performances with renowned artists such as Les Cowboys Fringants and Gregory Charles. I continued my violin studies at college, where I was selected for the Classical Violin Virtuoso program. My journey didn't stop there; I played for various folk gatherings, Christmas shows, senior residences, violin trios, orchestras, and much more!

OTHER THAN MUSIC

Outside of my musical work, there are several things I love! Hockey, mountains, my family, photography, and preparing delicious meals.
Here are some photos of me, my family, and my activities beyond music.
