One of Canada’s leading pianists, Stéphane Lemelin has led an active career as soloist and chamber music across North America, Europe and Asia for over five decades, and his playing has been praised for its sensitivity, refinement and musical integrity. His repertory is vast, with a predilection for the German Classical and Romantic literature and a particular affinity for French music, as evidenced by his more than twenty-five recordings, which include works by Fauré, Saint-Saëns, Debussy, Poulenc and Roussel, as well as lesserknown French composers such as Samazeuilh, Ropartz, Pierné, Migot, Dupont, Dubois, Rhené-Bâton, Rosenthal, Alder, Lekeu and others. Stéphane Lemelin’s teachers included Yvonne Hubert, Karl-Ulrich Schnabel, Leon Fleisher, Boris Berman, and Claude Frank. Currently a professor at the Schulich School of Music of McGill University, he previously served on the faculties of the University of Ottawa and the University of Alberta. A recognized pedagogue, he has been invited to give master classes around the world. August 2025
