Canadian marimbist Anne-Julie Caron has made her mark on the world musical scene with her sensitivity, depth, and wide spectrum of tonal colors. Recognized as a soloist and chamber musician, she has been noticed by the Argentinean composer Guillo Espel as "one of his favorite marimbists in all the world." The Vancouver Sun wrote: "Anne-Julie Caron performed with a talent reminiscent of Evelyn Glennie."
 
She has won the 2007 Opus Prize "Discovery of the year", the 2nd Prize at the 2006 International Marimba Competition in Linz, Austria, and first prize at two of the most prestigious Canadian competitions: the 2005 Montreal Symphony Standard Life Competition and the 2004 Prix d Europe.
 
Ms. Caron is active as a teacher and will be giving several masterclasses in the coming season. She has given clinics and masterclasses at PASIC, in Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Mexico, and in several universities including the University of Toronto, the University of British Columbia, l'Université de Montréal and the University of Indiana.
 
Ms. Caron has been the recipient of other prizes and awards including 1st Prize in percussion at the Orchestre Symphonique de Trois-Rivières Competition in 2003, the Conservatoire de Québec Concerto Competition in 2002 and the Radio-Canada Concours Jeunes Artistes in 2001.
