Violinist Blake Pouliot has joined the upper echelons of brilliant soloists, establishing himself as a consummate 21st century artist with the rigor and passion to shine for a lifetime. At only 25-years-old the tenacious violinist has been praised by the Toronto Star as, "one of those special talents that comes along once in a lifetime."
Highlights of the 2019-20 season include Pouliotâs debuts with the Atlanta, Asheville, Sarasota and Madison symphonies and a collaborative experience as the featured soloist for the first ever tour of the European Union Youth Orchestra and National Youth Orchestra of Canada.
The tremendously successful 2018-19 season included his debuts with the Detroit, Dallas, Milwaukee, San Francisco, and Seattle symphonies, dazzling audiences by â[surging] onstage in rock star pantsâŚ[presenting] Brahms as a composer of great passion. It was compellingly â indeed, irresistibly â done.â (The Dallas Morning News) In September, Pouliotâs debut album featuring the works of Ravel and Debussy was released (Analekta Records), earning a five-star rating from BBC Music Magazine and a 2019 Juno Award nomination for Best Classical Album. Adding to his accolades, Pouliot won both the Career Development Award from the Womenâs Club of Toronto and the Virginia Parker Prize from the Canada Arts Council.
Pouliot has twice been featured on CBCâs â30 Hot Canadian Classical Musicians under 30â. Heâs also hosted CBCâs This is my Music, was featured on Rob Kapilowâs What Makes it Great? series, and was NPRâs Performance Today Artist-in-Residence during the 2017-18 season in Minnesota.
