Mélisande McNabney

About

The artist

Mélisande McNabney is a Montréal-based harpsichordist, fortepianist, organist, teacher, and performance-practice researcher. Her work spans keyboard music from multiple periods, with a particular focus on historical instruments and Baroque and Classical repertoire. She earned third prize at the 2015 International Competition Musica Antiqua in Bruges and completed a doctorate at McGill University in 2017 after earlier studies at the Amsterdam Conservatory. Her official biography documents solo appearances across Canada and Europe and collaborations with the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal, Arion Orchestre Baroque, Les Violons du Roy, the National Arts Centre Orchestra, and other ensembles. McNabney teaches harpsichord and leads the Baroque ensemble at the Conservatoire de musique de Québec, while also teaching at the Domaine Forget International Academy. Her exact Spotify identity 7yRJeGlEBwQwQhs6Rxp4Vn contains four principal album containers available in Canada: Schieferlein: Sonates en trio, Inspirations, C.P.E. Bach - Mozart - Fantasias, and Rigel: Le souffle de la Révolution. Spotify dates the Rigel container to 2022, while Apple Music and the current official discography identify the project as a 2024 release. MusicList preserves that provider disagreement and uses Spotify's four-container range from 2017 through 2022 only as an exact platform snapshot, not as a complete career discography. Apple Music artist 1301775668 independently matches the identity and lists Montréal, Quebec, Canada. Current Canadian activity is confirmed by the artist's 2026 concert and teaching calendar, the Conservatoire's May 2026 ensemble festival, and the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal's 2025 season. An Early Music America artist profile explicitly identifies her Montréal base, consistent with these current Québec professional records.
