About
The artist
Nadia Labrie is a Quebec flutist, soloist, chamber musician, producer, and artistic director working from Montreal. She earned first prize with great distinction from the Conservatoires de musique du Québec and completed a master's degree in performance at the Université de Montréal. Early in her career, Labrie served for two years as principal flute with the Jeunesses Musicales World Orchestra, touring internationally with soloists and conductors including Anne-Sophie Mutter, James Ehnes, Kurt Masur, Yoav Talmi, and Franz-Paul Decker. She has appeared as an orchestral soloist in repertoire by Mozart, Devienne, Patrick Roux, François Borne, and Sarasate with ensembles including the Orchestre symphonique de Québec, Kamloops Symphony, Vienna Chamber Orchestra, Orchestre classique de Montréal, Arion Orchestre Baroque, and Orchestre symphonique de l'Estuaire. Since 1998, Labrie has also performed with her twin sister Annie Labrie in the flute and guitar duo Similia. The duo has presented more than 500 concerts in 13 countries and recorded four albums for Analekta. Nota del Sol received the 2004 Félix for Instrumental Album of the Year, while Fantasia received an ADISQ classical album nomination in 2006. Labrie's solo Flûte Passion series began with Schubert in 2018, followed by Bach in 2020 and Mozart in 2021. Flûte Passion: Mozart was nominated for ADISQ Classical Album of the Year in the soloist and small ensemble category. Her next project turned toward Claude Bolling's meeting of classical writing and jazz. Labrie served as principal artist, producer, and artistic director for a multi-volume recording made at Studios Piccolo in Montreal with Jonathan Turgeon, Dominic Girard, Bernard Riche, Hugo Larenas, and a wider production team. The complete Flûte Passion: Hommage à Claude Bolling set appeared through ATMA Classique in November 2025. Her official site documents a February 2026 Montreal benefit concert and a March 2026 Paris performance. Québec Jazz lists Labrie among its current 2026 artists from Quebec, and its current agency directory places her with Montreal-based Latitude 45 Arts Promotion. These sources independently confirm current Canadian and Quebec professional activity, with Montreal serving as the public professional location. The exact Spotify identity 7rTi5JzRqZMK1agJ8jsAxD exposes five primary album and single containers in the Canadian market from March 2018 through November 2025. Collision review ties all five to the same official site, Apple Music profile, MusicBrainz identity, collaborators, labels, and chronology. Spotify classifies four as albums and one as a single. The catalog moves from Schubert, Bach, and Mozart chamber repertoire to Bolling's classical and jazz crossover.
