Tobie
Miller
Hurdy-gurdy, recorder and voice (soprano)
Roots
I was born in Vancouver and grew up in Montreal, in Canada.
Study
I first completed a Bachelor’s degree in Early Music at McGill University in Montreal and then came to the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis for postgraduate and Master’s studies.
Professional
I work as a musician, specializing in historical hurdy-gurdy, with a little recorder and singing to round it out (those are the things I’ve actually studied, as there are
–
even today
–
not possible to learn hurdy-gurdy at university level). I perform both with my own ensemble, Danguy, and as an invited soloist with other ensembles.
Why
I think it chose me!
Elective affinity
My hobbies revolve a lot around nature and sustainability
–
being outside, but also creating things in slow actions. When I’m not on tour, for example, you can often find me at the sewing machine.
