MarieVeronique Bourque

Born: May 21, 1968

Marie-Véronique (MV) Bourque, an extremely talented artist from Saskatchewan, is not afraid to think and act outside the box. Her original songs and unique interpretations of jazz standards (by flute and voice) pair beautifully with her musical genre that can be described as ‘Velvet tuxedos and dry martini’.

Featured artist in a double bill with Derrick Gardner during the 2022 YYC International Jazz Days Festival in Calgary and the 2022 Saskatchewan International Jazz Festival in Saskatoon, Marie-Véronique was a nominee for the 2021 Trille Or and the 2021 Saskatchewan Music Awards. She is also one of the winners of the 2021 Jazz Flute Big Band competition organized by the National Flute Association.

The names of Johann Sebastian Bach, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and Sergei Rachmaninoff do not necessarily conjure images and sounds of jazz in one's mind, that is until one has listened to recordings by the Classical Jazz Quartet.

Classical Jazz Quartet: Tchaikovsky's "The Nutcracker"

by Jim Santella
December 1, 2001

Like the Modern Jazz Quartet, the foursome on this new release folds visions of great classical music into a mainstream jazz setting. Tchaikovsky's 1892 ballet has always provided special holiday vibes for the holidays.
