Dale Ladouceur has the distinction of being one of a few Chapman Stick players in Canada. Ladouceur has worked in a variety of bands, duos and in solo performance.

She has performed in groups led by Laura Smith, Laura Vinson, Lester Quitzau and Bill Bourne and has taken her from coast to coast in Canada and overseas.

Recently Ladouceur has branched out into writing soundscapes for a number of Edmonton theatre companies and has just finished the soundtrack for a documentary; 50 YEARS OF TRANSPLANT HISTORY for the American Kidney Foundation.
