Founded in 2000, Trio Hochelaga rapidly distinguished itself on the Canadian musical scene as one of the country’s most important musical ensembles. Violinist Anne Robert, cellist Paul Marleyn and pianist Stéphane Lemelin share their passion for the chamber music repertoire ranging from the classical era to contemporary music. Their repertoire includes the great works of the literature, and places a particular emphasis on French music, with a mission to explore the latter’s lesser-known treasures.

Bearing Montreal’s original Iroquois name, the Trio Hochelaga has been invited since its inception to participate in the major summer music festivals in Eastern Canada, including the Lanaudière International Music Festival, the Ottawa International Chamber Music Festival, the  Festival of the Sound, and the Orford Arts Centre Festival. In 2003, Trio Hochelaga introduced Jacques Hétu’s Triple Concerto with the Montreal Symphony Orchestra at the Lanaudière Festival. A highlight of the ensemble’s tour of Taiwan and Japan in 2004 was to appear as guests of the Tokyo New City Orchestra in performing Beethoven’s Triple Concerto at Tokyo’s Sumida Triphony Hall. In the fall of 2008, Trio Hochelaga gave performances in China, including a concert in the First International Chamber Music Festival held at Beijing's Central Conservatory of Music.
