Harpist Chantal Dube’s Story

Chantal began her musical journey when she was just four years old under her mother’s expert tutelage.  Her mother, who owned and operated a piano studio, remained a constant inspiration in Chantal’s life as she explored her passion for music and  ultimately, the harp.

In 1992 Chantal attended the Royal Conservatory Summer School of Music at Ridley College, which was sponsored by the Niagara Symphony. Here she began her enduring relationship with the harp and she continued to take lessons with the Niagara Symphony’s Principal Harpist, Doris Scharing.

As Chantal advanced her harp-playing techniques, she initiated studies with the Principal Harpist from the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, Suzanne Thomas.

Since 1996 Chantal has been sharing her musical prowess with others through performances at special occasions such as weddings, banquets, and business parties. Her repertoire consists of many genres of music to please the varied tastes of her audiences. With music credentials in several areas, Chantal also teaches harp, piano, and keyboard at her home in Mississauga.

In 2006 Chantal and violinist Cheryl Hodgson recorded a Christian album entitled “Unto His Name”, a collection of spiritual songs interwoven with some well known classical pieces. After many requests for a solo album, in 2008 Chantal recorded her third CD entitled “Still Moments”, a collection of hymns that have helped her through her spiritual journeys.
