Louise Forestier

About

The artist

Louise Forestier is a Montreal singer-songwriter, composer, actor, and multidisciplinary artist whose career spans six decades of Quebec music and theatre. Her early work included L'Osstidcho with Robert Charlebois, Yvon Deschamps, and Mouffe, followed by recordings such as La prison de Londres and roles in Demain matin, Montréal m'attend, Starmania, and Nelligan. Forestier returned with Vieille Corneille in April 2025, a nine-part electro-oratorio built from her words and melodies in collaboration with composer, arranger, and producer Louis Dufort. LABE's current artist page and 2025 GAMIQ announcement document the release and its Experimental nomination, while current interviews describe Forestier as still writing, singing, acting, and painting. Her artist-controlled Bandcamp page identifies Montreal, Quebec as her base, and the Governor General's honours registry also lists Montreal. The exact Spotify identity currently exposes 14 album and single containers: 13 albums and one single from 1967 through April 2025. All 14 survive identity review. Representative releases include Louise Forestier, Robert Charlebois & Louise Forestier, La prison de Londres, Lumières, and Vieille Corneille. Her honours include membership in the Order of Canada, appointment as a Knight of the National Order of Quebec, the title of Companion of the Order of Arts and Letters of Quebec, and recognition as a Citizen of Honour of Montreal.
