The Performers:

Liselyn Adams moved to Canada in 1979 after finishing her studies at the New England Conservatory, Boston University, and the Royal Conservatory of The Netherlands. She joined the music department at Concordia University in 1980, and has taught a wide variety of courses in music performance, theory, and history. For several years, she coordinated the classical performance area, and was appointed Graduate Program Director in 1992. Liselyn Adams moved to the Associate Dean's office in June of 2002, holding the Research, Graduate Studies, and International Academic Relations portfolio for the Faculty of Fine Arts, and now is the Associate Vice-President, International for the university since 2005.

Equally at home on the modern and baroque flutes, she has performed as principal flutist with the Studio de musique ancienne de Montréal, the Carl Philipp Ensemble, Les Nations de Montréal and as a guest soloist in many cities in North America. She is a founding member of the Blue Rider Ensemble, which has premiered works by many Canadian and American composers, including works of instrumental theatre by Peter Hatch and collectively composed by the Ensemble. Québec poet and playwright, Michel Garneau, has been one of their most enthusiastic collaborators.

 

Pianist, Liane Alitowski,  a native New Yorker , is a versatile soloist and chamber musician who has performed throughout the US, Israel, Europe, South America and Japan.  She has been on the faculties of the University of Notre Dame, the Tel Aviv University, Sweden’s Paideia Institute in Stockholm, as well as Queens College  and the 92nd Street Y in New York.

Ms. Alitowski earned her Bachelors and Masters degrees at Indiana University with Menahem Pressler (Beaux Arts Trio), and her Doctorate with Gil Kalish at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. She  also performed extensively as the first resident pianist with New World Symphony, directed by Michael Tilson Thomas.

Ms. Alitowski has recently made Montréal her new home.
