A trained conductor and musicologist, Béatrice Cadrin works as assistant director and score reader with ProdCan.
Whether recording Christian Tetzlaff on solo violin (Bach’s complete Sonatas and Partitas), Les Violons du Roy (Pergolesi’s Stabat Mater), the Orchestre Métropolitain (Act 1 of Die Walkyrie in concert version, Handel’s Messiah) or the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal (Le Sacre du printemps, Symphonies nos. 1, 2, 3, and 7 by Mahler, Symphony no. 10 by Shostakovich), Béatrice applies all her passion and skills to supporting ProdCan’s director with complete score analysis and assisting in camera direction both in pre-production and during live recordings.
Béatrice is also making a name for herself as a cultural journalist and music critic, renowned for the pertinence of her expertise. As a teacher, she passes on her passion to the young string players at École Joseph-François-Perrault’s École des petits musiciens, conducting string ensembles. She regularly produces adapted arrangements for educational purposes.
Beatrice was awarded the Iwan Edwards Prize in choral conducting, the Lake Massawippi Festival Foundation’s scholarship for academic excellence, the Kedl Foundation’s scholarship for an internship in orchestral conducting, and a Canada-Scandinavia Foundation scholarship for viola lessons in Oslo, Norway.
During her viola studies at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater Hannover in Germany, she performed throughout northern Germany, Hungary and Italy.
Recently, her article “The Metropolis of Art in Mozart’s Name. Mozart and the Salzburg Festival in political turmoil (1921-1944)”, published in the Cahiers de la SQRM was a finalist for the Opus Prizes in the Books category.
