Anne Duranceau has studied double bass in Quebec City, and then at the University of Arizona where she obtained her Master’s degree. Extensive participation in international workshops and festivals has given her the opportunity to work with world-renowned masters of the double bass and, more recently, of the viola da gamba.

Now settled in Vancouver, she plays with various chamber groups and orchestras, including Lions Gate Sinfonia and the Absinthe Ensemble string trio. She also plays bass viol (and sometimes treble viol, violone and/or lirone) with Vancouver Viols, the Historical Performance Ensemble, and various choirs and mixed ensembles.
