Nicolas Lessard

A highly sought-after contrabassist and chamberist, Nicolas Lessard devotes himself chiefly to small groups with diverse musical styles.  Very active on the Montreal baroque scene, one can hear him on the contrabass or violin in concerts, recordings, and tours as a part of the Ensemble Arion, les Idées Heureuses, les Boréades, Caprice…etc.

Nicolas is also involved in contemporary music as a member of the Mont-Royal Quintet and electric bassist of Kamikaze Croquant, and in world music with the groups Itch! and Oktoecho.

Student of Zbigniew Borowicz, Marc Denis, and Joel Quarrington, Nicolas is a graduate of the Music Conservatory of Trois-Rivières, the University of Montreal, as well as the Glenn Gould School at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto, and teaches at the Collège Regina Assumpta.
