About Juliette

Clarinetist Juliette Moreno, a rising musician in the Toronto musical community, has consistently demonstrated great talent and commitment throughout her musical journey. She was awarded the Excellence Scholarship during her summer internship in 2017 at the Domaine Forget International Academy of Music and Dance in the beautiful Charlevoix region in Quebec. She also reached a significant milestone during her studies in Montreal by winning the concerto competition of the Conservatoire de musique de Montréal, with whom she was able to perform at the Marguerite-Bourgeoys Hall in January 2020, laying the foundations for a great musical debut. 

A versatile performer, Juliette has collaborated with distinguished musical ensembles such as Orchestre Symphonique du Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean, Orchestre symphonique de Drummondville, Esprit Orchestra, Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Canadian Opera Company. Her contributions to the classical musical sphere extended beyond performances when she also took part in Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Atom Egoyan's movie "Seven Veils" alongside the musicians of the Canadian Opera Company with whom she performed in the opera masterpiece Salome by Richard Strauss, used as inspiration for Egoyan’s movie. 

During the summer of 2023, Juliette participated in renowned music festivals such as the Toronto Summer Music Festival, the Big Lake Festival in Prince Edward County, and the Ottawa Chamberfest. She also participated, as a young artist, in the EQ Lamp program at the Lunenburg Academy of Music in Nova Scotia, where she had the amazing opportunity to work alongside a world icon of classical music and specialist in contemporary repertoire, the Canadian conductor and soprano, Barbara Hannigan. 

Juliette recently graduated from the Glenn Gould School of the Royal Conservatory with an Artist Diploma in clarinet performance, where she studied under Joaquin Valdepeñas. Her educational journey began in her hometown of Montreal, at the Conservatoire de musique de Montréal, in the studio of Jean-François Normand, with whom she completed her Bachelor's and Master's degrees before continuing her journey in Toronto. Since September 2024, Juliette has taken on the role of Principal Clarinet of the Orchestre Symphonique du Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean, further establishing her presence in the Canadian orchestral scene. Outside of the practice room, she loves cooking and is always on the hunt for the best matcha in town.
