Grammy Award-winning soprano Suzie LeBlanc has been named the artistic and executive director of Early Music Vancouver, becoming the first woman to hold the position in the 50-year history of the organization.
She takes over the role from former director Matthew White, who is now CEO with Victoria Symphony. “I first got to know Suzie as a fan of her recordings and then had the honour of working with her on stage many times over the years,” White said in a statement. “She is an internationally renowned artist who brings decades of experience working at the very top of [her] field.”
