Isabelle Aubin, Pianist and Vocal Coach

(back to member list)

Canadian pianist and opera coach Isabelle Aubin was trained in the Conservatoire of Quebec, Canada, and Montreal University. She furthered her studies with Denise Massé, Graham Johnson, Marin Katz, Nathalie Pépin and Jean Barr. "She sings through the piano," is why Isabelle is in high demand as a collaborative pianist with professional singers.

Having performed all through Italy, Isabelle was selected to teach and perform in the famed Siena Summer program with a program she designed entitled, The Art of Accompaniment. From this she created Festival di Musica da Camera, an Italian music institute that is held in Canada, United States and Italy.

Isabelle’s love of languages makes her a very sympathetic collaborator, working in French, Italian, German and English. The nuance of the word and its relationship with the sound are very important in her interpretations. She strives to unveil the true essence and meaning of each note and phrase - always striving to fulfill the composers’ intentions, thoughts and dreams.

Isabelle's current positions are Pianist and Vocal Coach, Festival di Musica da Camera; Vocal Coach, Buffalo State College; French Diction Professor, Nazareth College; Pianist and Vocal Coach, Nazareth College; Vocal Coach, Empire State Lyric Theatre; Pianist and Vocal Coach, Genesee Valley Orchestra and Chorus. She has held similar positions with the College d'Alma, and Société d'arts lyriques du Royaume in Quebec, Canada.

She has worked and performed in Austria, Italy, Canada and United States with international vocalists Ettore Nova, Ambra Vespesiani, Karina Gauvin, Stefano Algieri, Hugues St-Gelais, Mariana Paunova, Claudine Côté and Marie-Nicole Lemieux.

She has performed as soloist with the Austin Symphony Orchestra, Genesee Symphony Orchestra, Empire State Lyric Theatre, and Genesee Valley Orchestra and Chorus.
