Canadian composer and organist, Laurence Jobidon has written for a variety of ensembles, notably chamber, solo, vocal and orchestral music. Hailed for her inventiveness (Jeu), powerful lyricism (Avant-Scène Opéra) and for the richness of her language (Folia Organologica, Poland), her works have been performed in North America and Europe in venues such as Opéra de Montréal, the Canadian Opera Company noon-concert series, the Canadian International Organ Competition festival (CIOC), the International Review of Composers (Serbia) and the Société de Musique Contemporaine du Québec  (SMCQ). Recognized through many national and international competitions (SOCAN, Ottawa Guitar Society, Graham Sommer, Prix 3 Femmes – Mécénat Musica, New Generation Orchestra…), her works have been published at Productions d’Oz (Ancrages) and New Music Shelf editions (USA – Al claro de luna) and have also been the focus of musicological and stylistical analysis in Mixtures (Québec), L’Orgue Francophone (France) and Folia Organologica (Poland).

Featured organist at the Canadian International Organ Competition in March 2021, she was a finalist at the Claude-Lavoie competition in 2014 and multiple-time National winner at the Canadian Music Competition and she is regularly invited to perform across Quebec.
