Montreal, Tuesday, April 14, 2026 – Founded almost forty years ago by François Mario Labbé, Analekta, a flagship of the Canadian classical recording industry, is entering a new phase in its history. Outhere Music, the international group of labels specializing in classical music that acquired Analekta in 2022, intends to continue the label’s activities in Canada and will now entrust its management to Anne-Marie Talbot, who has been part of the team since 2021.

This new entity, Analekta Musique, will be operated by Anne-Marie Talbot’s company.
17 Aylwin Inc., which has specialized in artist management for over 10 years.

HERE IS WHAT THE PRESIDENT OF OUTHERE MUSIC HAD TO SAY:

“We place great importance on the development of Analekta’s activities. It is a label that has shaped Canada’s history and shares many affinities with us, particularly in the production of a wide diversity of cultural works, without yielding to commercial pressures. I would like to thank François Mario Labbé for the excellent collaboration over the past years and am delighted that Anne-Marie Talbot is taking up the torch. She will be able to rely on the support of all our European teams.”

– Charles Adriaenssen, President of Outhere Music

“After almost forty years dedicated to building and promoting Analekta, I am pleased to entrust the next chapter of this remarkable journey to Anne-Marie Talbot. Her deep knowledge of the cultural sector, her passion for classical music, and her commitment to Canadian artists make her the ideal person to ensure the label’s continuity. I will remain by her side as a consultant to support this new phase.”

– François Mario Labbé, Founder of Analekta

With more than twenty years of experience in the cultural sector, Anne-Marie Talbot aims to position Analekta Musique as both a springboard for emerging talent and a key partner for established artists, while continuing the mission of excellence and outreach that has defined
the label.

“Analekta holds a unique place in the Canadian musical landscape. As the heir to a recognized expertise, the label will continue to support Canadian classical musicians and bring their talent to international audiences. We also aim to open the door to greater
diversity, notably by providing a platform for Indigenous classical artists in Canada.”

– Anne-Marie Talbot, Director of Analekta Musique

Through its ongoing partnership with Outhere Music, Analekta Musique will continue the label’s original mission: to produce, promote, and showcase Canadian classical music
worldwide, combining artistic excellence, local roots, and international reach.
