In 2003, during an artistic residency at the Banff Centre for the Arts in Canada, she founded her trio with Mexican flutist Miguel Angel Villanueva and Canadian pianist Vanessa May-lok Lee, who have since been her partners in several concert series in North America and in the recording of Bleu et or (Quindecim Recordings), composed of works of the 20th and 21st centuries.

Their concerts have led to new compositions for viola, in particular the concertante works Aion and Fractis umbraculis by Alejandro Romero, and the duet for viola and piano La Forza Il Sparvier by Georgina Derbez, which she dedicated.

Elodie Guillot has recently made a recording of J.S. Bach’s sonatas for viola da gamba (viola) and harpsichord with the harpsichordist Anne-Catherine Vinay.
