In making the announcement Music Director Nurhan Arman commented that “Daphné Bourbonnais possesses a highly developed technique, a marvellously expressive bow arm and innate musicianship. She is a sensitive player and will be a great fit with our performing style. I am absolutely delighted to welcome her to Sinfonia Toronto.”
Born in Rimouski, Québec, Daphné completed her master’s degree at the Conservatoire de Musique de Montréal, where she also obtained a Chamber Music Diploma. Daphné has played with the National Youth Orchestra of Canada, Orchestre de la Francophonie and l’Orchestre Symphonique de l’Estuaire. She has toured across Canada, Spain and South Korea.
