A Hailed as "one of Toronto's most gifted musicians" (The National Post), violinist Kathleen Kajioka has established a reputation as a musical multi-linguist, moving between different worlds of music with agility and uncompromising depth. From Early Music to World, from New Music to Pop, she has appeared in concert series and festivals across Canada: from the east coast's Halifax Jazz Festival to the west coast's Victoria Chamber Music Festival - and internationally in the US and Europe.
After studying modern viola at the Eastman School of Music, Kathleen's keen interest in Early Music led her to period music studies on both Baroque violin and viola. She is a fixture in Toronto's Early Music scene, performing and touring frequently with Tafelmusik, Scaramella and Toronto Masque Theatre. She also plays with the Montreal-based Ensemble Masques. In addition to Early Music, Kathleen is a specialist in Middle Eastern violin after studying in Cairo, NY and Toronto. She brings all of her musical experiences to bear in her role as broadcaster at The New Classical 96.3FM in Toronto, where she is the weekly host of ‘In the Still of the Night'.
Kathleen was born in Toronto. Her father, Robert, is of Japanese descent and her mother, Sigrún (1938-1991) was Icelandic, the daughter of Anna Jónsdóttir and Torfi Hjartarson.
Olivier Fortin graduated with distinction from the Québec Conservatory in 1995 and obtained a Masters Degree from University of Montreal under the direction of Réjean Poirier. He received scholarships for studies in Paris with Pierre Hantaď and in Amsterdam with Bob van Asperen. In 1997 he was awarded top prizes at the Montreal Bach Competition and the Bruges Festival, and received the Capriccio Stravagante Prize in 1998.
He is in demand as a soloist and chamber musician, touring and recording throughout Europe, China and South Korea, the United States and Canada.
Olivier Fortin is the founder and director of the Montreal-based Ensemble Masques. Since 1998, the ensemble has become a strategic meeting point for young Canadian musicians. From 2004 - 2008 he taught harpsichord and chamber music at the Conservatoire de Musique de Québec, and he currently teaches at the Tafelmusik Summer Institute in Toronto.
