"In all circumstances, I note the impeccable professionalism of Ms. Lussier. Her preparation and understanding of music are very thorough, and reflect the many hours of study and detailed analysis. In working with the musicians, she finds the the ideal balance between the demand for musical quality in interpretation, and a recognition of the human limits of performers.
His leadership pushes artists to give their best, but always with technical and personal support. Technically, her beat is clear, and she demonstrates great generosity regarding the needs of musicians. She knows rigorously how to plan a rehearsal to maximize results, and she always creates a respectful work environment for all stakeholders – composers, musicians, technicians, and members of the public. She is an ideal collaborator for any ensemble, choir or orchestra."
