Already known as an engaging communicator and respected for her passionate advocacy work, she will be a brilliant ambassador for the TSO. I am thrilled to welcome Emilie to the TSO\u2019s artistic team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>LeBel specializes in concert-music composition focusing on textural landscapes, resonance, and variances in colour.
