Clotilde Coulombe

Clotilde Coulombe (4 April 1892 – 13 May 1985) was a Canadian pianist and Roman Catholic nun.

[1] Born in Quebec City, Coulombe was a student of pianist Joseph-Arthur Bernier.

This prize enabled her to pursue further studies in Paris with Lucien Berton (voice), Alfredo Casella (piano), Camille Chevillard (chamber music), Alfred Cortot (piano), and Félix Fourdrain (harmony).

[1] After her return to Canada in 1914, Coulombe spent a year performing as a concert pianist and was also active as a music educator.

Ill health eventually forced her to return to public life and, after her recovery, she married Dr Gaston Ouellette.
