Louise Campbell is a Montreal-based musician whose professional hats range from conductor to cultural mediator, community arts facilitator to Teaching Artist. As a composer, performer and improviser, Louise seeks to interrogate and renew the ways in which we make music by creating new works with everyone, regardless of age, ability, level of prior experience, or training. Her specializations include improvisation and creation with untrained (aka ‘amateur’) musicians, improvised conducting, cross-disciplinary creation, commissioned works, and public engagement. She has toured as a performer, guest artist, and lecturer of improvised and composed musics across Canada, the US, France, Germany, and Brazil, and most recently in zoom rooms around the world. She is the project lead for the Canadian New Music Network’s Participatory Creative Music Hub.
