Marina Thibeault

About

The artist

Marina Thibeault is a violist, chamber musician, album producer, and educator professionally based in Montréal, Quebec. Thibeault joined McGill University's Schulich School of Music as Assistant Professor of Viola in 2023 and currently serves as its Chamber Music Coordinator. McGill's current faculty profile and April 2026 concert programs confirm an active Montréal teaching and performance base. The exact Spotify identity contains four principal albums available in Canada from April 2017 through March 2026. Toquade introduced a solo recording catalogue built around the viola. Elles, recorded with pianist Marie-Ève Scarfone, foregrounded works by women composers and received a 2020 JUNO nomination. Viola Borealis paired Thibeault with Orchestre de l'Agora and conductor Nicolas Ellis in music by Pēteris Vasks, Melody McKiver, and Georg Philipp Telemann. The album won the 2023 JUNO for Classical Album of the Year, Large Ensemble. Current management materials directly identify Thibeault as the album's producer as well as its viola soloist, so MusicList includes Thibeault in both the artist and producer directories. No recording, mixing, or mastering engineering role is inferred. In Faded Sepia, released in March 2026, extends the catalogue through Trio Garibaldi with clarinetist Jose Franch-Ballester and pianist David Fung. The program includes commissioned works, a first commercial recording, and new arrangements. Thibeault's earlier distinctions include first prize in the string category of the 2015 Prix d'Europe and selection as Radio-Canada's classical Revelation for 2016 to 2017. Current professional relationships include ATMA Classique as label, Latitude 45 Arts for booking, McGill for teaching, and Trio Garibaldi for chamber collaboration.
