The Canadian soprano, Suzie LeBlanc, is an early music specialist, who has enjoyed an active international career performing in concerts throughout Europe, North America and Japan, in repertory ranging from lute songs to chamber music to oratorio and early opera. A music critic from London's The Listener had this to say about Suzie LeBlanc’s debut at the Wigmore Hall: "I must listen to more early music, especially when this lady is singing it."
In addition to her work with Ensemble Tragicomedia, Suzie LeBlanc forms a duo with lutenist Stephen Stubbs and is a frequent guest for concerts and recordings with the Purcell Quartet, Parley of Instruments, Red Byrd, the Freiburger Barockorchester, Fretwork, Les Voix Humaines, Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra, Teatro Lirico, Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra, Musica Antiqua Köln, Australian Brandenburg Orchestra, and Les Violons du Roy.
