C’est lors de leurs études à L'université McGill que Marie, Nathan et Ryan ont décidé de créer un groupe de musique ancienne appelé les Barocudas. Bien vite, ce qui était une blague est devenu un rêve commun de jouer de la musique ancienne tout en restant très créatif et innovateur. Aujourd'hui, Les Barocudas sont toujours situés à Montréal, QC, où ils continuent d'apporter à la faune montréalaise leur esprit tordu et leurs interprétations parfois authentiques. En février 2017, Les Barocudas sont allés en tournée au Canada et aux États-Unis où ils ont donné des performances et des cours de maître tant qu'artistes invités- notamment à L'université de l'état de New York à Fredonia, NY.
Les Barocudas have established themselves as a daring, youthful ensemble whose presence on the early music scene is as formidable as it is eccentric. The Montreal-based trio, whose members include Marie Nadeau-Tremblay (violin), Ryan Gallagher (viola da gamba), and Nathan Mondry (harpsichord), has charmed North American audiences with their refreshingly unconventional approach to early music interpretation. Since its inception in 2015, the group has toured Canada and the United States as both performers and pedagogues; in addition to recent showcases in New York City and Detroit (among others), the ensemble has been invited to give masterclasses at the State University of New York in Fredonia, NY. Relentlessly creative, Les Barocudas are also known for their theatrical music video productions which have attracted a substantial online following. They released their début album, Les Barocudas, in 2017.

Après un baccalauréat en violon (performance) à l’Université McGill en 2014, Marie Nadeau-Tremblay se découvre une passion pour la musique ancienne et décide de se consacrer entièrement à cette discipline. Elle s’inscrit d’abord à la licence en violon baroque, puis à la maîtrise en 2017. Marie joue avec l’Orchestre baroque de McGill en tant que premier violon, et elle se produit comme soliste avec cet orchestre à de nombreuses occasions. En 2016, elle participe à l’American Bach Soloist Academy en qualité de boursière de l’Organisation Early Music America, et elle se voit confier un important solo lors du concert final. Marie est aussi récipiendaire de plusieurs bourses d’excellence de l’Université McGill, dont la bourse Mary McLaughlin à trois reprises et le Prix John B. Richardson. Marie est membre fondateur du trio de musique ancienne Les Barocudas.

Ryan Gallagher was born in New Jersey. As a child, he was exposed to the sound of a great many styles of music which have shaped him into the character he is today. Ryan is currently a doctoral student at McGill university on a prestigious Graduate Excellence Fellowship, where he divides his time between performance and research focused bowed bass instruments in the Renaissance and Baroque periods, including the viola da gamba, violone (bass violin), and violoncello. From the humble beginnings of dreaming to be a heavy metal bass player, he strives as a performer to fuse that same intensity and power with the maturity and elegance he has learned from playing these ancient instruments. Ryan also maintains a strong sense of curiosity and questioning in the early music scene, in an effort to rediscover sounds and techniques that have been lost through the ages.
