Marie Deziel

Marie Déziel comes from a musical family. She grew up listening to Shostakovich and Mozart
while playing with her Lego. By age 10 she could play the piano by ear and had received
her first accordion. She now plays the violin, the viola, accordion and the piano with several groups. 
Her passion for musical instruments recently led her to take up the study of the hurdy gurdy,
which is used in the folk tradition of France and also in medieval and renaissance music.

Marie Déziel is a Spanish, French and music CEGEP (College) teacher. She also plays the violin and the viola with Parkdale and Kanata Symphony Orchestras in Ottawa.
