Christian Paquette

You wouldn’t know it today but Christian’s sole reason for choosing the flute was because it was portable.  Logically, the flute fit in his backpack with all his other school books and paraphernalia – and a flautist was born.  Christian is also an accomplished vocalist and conductor, having performed and conducted in the University of Ottawa’s yearly operatic offering.

In the fall of 2013, Christian was very excited to move to Boston to do a 2-year Graduate Diploma at the New England Conservatory with Ms. Paula Robison, a world class soloist!

Flautist Christian Paquette is one of Ottawa’s rising musical stars. A “Renaissance” musician of many talents including baritone soloist, conductor and instrumentalist, he excels in all mediums and inspires both audience and fellow musicians to great heights. It has been a great pleasure for me to work with him during his short stay at the U of O.
