Joé Lampron-Dandonneau
A native of Richmond in Quebec’s Eastern Townships, tenor Joé Lampron-Dandonneau quickly distinguished himself throughout his university studies. After completing a bachelor’s degree at the Université de Montréal under the guidance of baritone John Fanning, he went on to earn a master’s degree in vocal performance at the University of Victoria, where he studied with tenor Benjamin Butterfield.
It was during this program that Mr. Lampron-Dandonneau had his first opportunities to perform with a professional opera company, appearing in several productions with Pacific Opera Victoria. Upon returning to Montréal, he completed his Graduate Diploma in Vocal Performance at McGill University in the studio of soprano Dominique Labelle, during which he had the great privilege of being named a finalist for the prestigious Wirth Vocal Prize (2019–2020).
Since finishing his studies, he has collaborated with numerous professional choirs, including La Chapelle de Québec, while continuing to develop as a chamber musician and maintaining a parallel career in arts management.
