Isabelle Demers
In 2010, Isabelle Demers performed a recital for the 2010 International Society of Organbuilders/American Institute of Organbuilders Convention which “left the entire congress in an atmosphere of ‘Demers fever.’’’ This impact continues unabated, close to 15 years later. With her “bracing virtuosity” (Chicago Classical Review) and “fearless and extraordinary” artistic personality (Amarillo-Globe News), she has enraptured critics, presenters, and audience members around the globe with spellbinding performances. Her acclaimed recordings on the Acis and Pro Organo labels have been heralded as “expressive … profound and searching” (RSCM, Church Music Quarterly). Born in Québec and a graduate of The Juilliard School, Dr. Demers is Associate Professor of Organ at the Schulich School of Music of McGill University in Montreal, Quebec.
