BA in piano at McGill in Montréal, she went to London and studied piano with Albert Ferber and Radu Lupu. She settled in Berlin in 1989 and has moved away from traditional concert work and expanded her musical activities into the field of composition and radio art. Since several residencies at S. T. E. I. M. in Amsterdam and the TU studio in Berlin, her work includes sampling and personal electronics (wire tap dancing shoes). She wrote various radio plays aired on New American Radio, SFB3, Radio-Canada, and the BBC. In 2001, the festival Angelica presented an early retrospective of her work including a commission from the Orchestra del Theatro Communale di Bologna. She recorded a series of songs with the famous singer Dagmar Krause and participated in Chris Cutler's band P53 where she improvised with classical music. She has later branched into the music theatre and appeared all over the world in works from Heiner Goebbels (“Die Wiederholung”, “Hashirigaki”) and more recently, various productions of young director David Marton, the latest being “Die Krönung von Poppea” in Thalia Theater in Hamburg. Marie Goyette started to study homeopathy in the fall of 2005 with Dr. Hans-Joachim Hameister in Berlin. She followed many seminars with Dr. Massimo Mangialavori, Dr Rajan Sankaran and Dr. Jan Scholten. She practices homeopathy in Berlin.
