PROULX Sylvie

Canadian virtuoso guitarist, Sylvie Proulx, has concertized throughout Canada, the United States and England in venues such as Buckingham Palace, Glenn Gould Studio and the Winnipeg Centennial Hall. 

In addition to her solo career, Ms. Proulx has participated in several chamber music, multi-disciplinary and multi-genre projects notably with narrator Alan Maitland, (otherwise known as "Fireside Al" former CBC host of "As it Happens"), jazz vocalist Jeri Brown, contemporary dancer Gwen Noah and visual artist Malcolm Callaway.

Ms. Proulx's most recent solo recording: LesTendres Plaintes, features transcriptions of works by French Baroque composer J.P. Rameau. Three of these were transcribed by Ms. Proulx. The recording has garnered enthusiastic reviews notably by Classical Guitar Magazine who describes Proulx’s playing as a full of deft lyrical touches and an inquisitive stylistic approach that never sounds less than fresh, immersing the listener in an ornamental world that is magical.  

Ms. Proulx is also a respected pedagogue who has given numerous master classes and has adjudicated at universities and music festivals across Canada. She is an Associate Professor at Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador where she currently teaches guitar.
