"The flute speaks, it touches, it dazzles as if it had been revealed to mankind on a glorious day of creation." - Raymond Meylan, La flute.

Inspired by the French repertoire of the 17th and 18th centuries, flutist Anne Thivierge has chosen to highlight works for flute and continuo by Francois Couperin, Michel Blavet, Marin Marais, and Jean-Marie Leclair. Gambist Melisande Corriveau and harpsichordist Eric Milnes accompany her on this French Baroque journey.

Anne Thivierge performs in Europe, Canada, and the United States with renowned ensembles such as Ensemble Correspondances, Ensemble Pygmalion, Boston Baroque, Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra, Les Violons du Roy, and Arion Baroque Orchestra. Anne Thivierge holds a master's degree from the Universite de Montreal where she studied with flutist Lise Daoust. She then specialized in baroque flute with Marc Hantai in Paris and at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels (Belgium) with Barthold Kuijken and Frank Theuns, where she completed a master's degree with great distinction in 2006.

She has made numerous recordings as a soloist, chamber musician, and with orchestras, notably with conductors Raphael Pichon, Eric Milnes, and Mathieu Lussier. Specializing in early music performance, Melisande Corriveau has been hailed by critics for her exceptional musical mastery on viola da gamba, cello, and recorder.

"Melisande Corriveau [...] possesses formidable interpretive skills and a great knowledge of the practices of the period." (Gramophone)

A native of New York City, Eric Milnes has established an international reputation as a conductor, harpsichordist, and organist through his numerous performances for the most distinguished festivals and presenters in North America, Europe, South America, and Asia.
