Biography
Tobie Miller was born into a family of classical musicians. She received her undergraduate degree (B.Mus) in Early Music Performance from McGill University of Montreal. Ms. Miller continued her education at the prestigious Schola Cantorum Basiliensis in Basel, Switzerland. There she pursued postgraduate studies in the performance of medieval and renaissance music. Her work in Basel was funded in part by two grants she received from the Canada Council for the Arts, and by the J.B.C. Watkins Award.

Ms. Miller currently divides her time between Basel and Montreal. She continues to perform and record with multiple ensembles on both continents including the Ensemble Baroque de Limoges (recording of Haydn and Mozart concerti forthcoming, on the Laborie label), Les Musiciens de Saint Julien (recording on Alpha label), Per Sonat (recording on the Christophorus label), and her own ensembles, La Rota and Ysis.
