Described as “immaculate, at once refined and impassioned,” (ArtsAtlanta) Blake Pouliot, winner of the Grand Prize at the 2016 Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal Manulife Competition, has anchored himself among the ranks of classical phenoms. This passionate young artist is “one of those special talents that comes along once in a lifetime” (Toronto Star).
