Kyrie Kristmanson (born 1989 or 1990)

CBC Radio 2,[3][4] and in France by Radio France[5] and by France Inter
("White Sessions").

She received a B.Hum. Honours degree in humanities and music from Carleton University in 2010.[1]

Musical career

She has released three albums as a solo artist, incorporating

Eglise Saint-Eustache in Paris.[6][7][8] She began her ongoing research of troubadour music and poetry, and particularly the female medieval troubadour tradition, during a year spent studying at the Lumière University Lyon 2.[1] Her poetry chapbook Myths of the Body was published by In/Words Magazine and Press in September 2008,[9] and she has contributed texts to Jowi Taylor's Six String Nation (Douglas and MacInyre, 2009)[10][11] and Folk Prints magazine.[12]

She was commissioned to write songs for CBC programs including A Continent Ago, inspired by writer Mavis Gallant, created for Canada Reads. She also contributed two songs, "Land" and "Talk", to Sound and Inspiration II, a show in which the Art of Time Ensemble performed Robert Schumann's "Piano Quintet in E flat", followed by pop and rock musicians – including Kristmanson, John Southworth, Justin Rutledge, Martin Tielli, Dave Wall and Andy Maize — performing their own original compositions inspired by the Schumann piece.[13] In 2010, she collaborated with composer Pat Carrabré and the Afiara String Quartet on The Domna Elegies, a song cycle in which Kristmanson's troubadour-inspired songs and poetry were set to chamber music arrangements by Carrabré.[14]

Kristmanson has opened for notable performers such as

Melissa Laveaux), Emily Loizeau, Sophie Hunger, Hawksley Workman and Buck 65. She was also a founding member of the indie rock band Rah Rah.[15] She was selected to perform at the Canadian Music Café at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2008[16] and at South by South-East in Memphis, Tennessee
.

Kristmanson plays a classical guitar created for her by Lyon-based luthier Jasper Senderowitz.[17]

Awards

In 2007, Kristmanson won the

Canadian Folk Music Award for Best Young Performer.[2] In 2009 she was awarded the Colleen Peterson Songwriting Award for her composition "Song X".[1]
