Rémi Bolduc is a highly accomplished and respected jazz saxophonist and educator, with over 40 years’ experience in the music industry. He serves as an associate professor in the jazz department at McGill University in Montreal, where he has remained a highly active figure on the music scene since his arrival in 1982. Bolduc has produced and performed on 11 jazz albums, featuring collaborations with esteemed musicians such as Kenny Werner, Marc Johnson, Ben Monder, and Jerry Bergonzi. He has also designed three saxophone models for the Expression Company, each of which bears his name.
The Rémi Bolduc Jazz Ensemble has captivated audiences with its dazzling virtuosity and with Remi’s connections in the jazz world, we know that Oscar Peterson will be well represented on our stage.
Apart from his extensive portfolio as a musician, Bolduc has received a multitude of awards and nominations for his contributions to jazz. These accolades include the Opus Prize for Jazz Concert of the Year in 2021 and 2016, and the Felix Award for Jazz Album of the Year in 2011. His discography features albums such as “Les Esprits Oubliés” (2022) with Jerry Bergonzi, “Sax Zenith” and “Tribute to Dave Brubeck” (Art and Soul Productions).
