Soprano Suzie LeBlanc has been among the younger faces that have stimulated the vibrant early music scene in Montreal and in Canada in general. She has a light voice, refreshingly attuned to the natural strain in music of the eighteenth century rather than to its athletic feats. Accounts of LeBlanc's early life specify her point of origin as Acadia, perhaps suggesting a rejection of the Anglo geographical entity of New Brunswick in which most of Canada's Atlantic Francophone community lives. She had both vocal talent and drive but was never particularly nurtured in terms of training even though her mother was a voice teacher. ~ James Manheim, All Music Guide.
