OUR UPCOMING CONCERTS
La contrebasse dans le trio jazz : l’émancipation d’un instrument accompagnateur
Centre d’art de Richmond, 1010 rue Principale nord, Richmond
Le Centre d’art de Richmond invites you to a musical evening that is both festive and educational: a concert commented on by two teachers from the music school: Jonathan Guillaume Boudreau (teacher of double bass and electric bass) and Kevin Sullivan (drum teacher), who will be accompanied by Julian Gutierrez.
Hosted by Jonathan-Guillaume Boudreau, professor of double bass and electric bass at CAR, this evening in Formula 5 to 7 will allow you to explore the traditional role of double bass in jazz and how, why, and then how it has evolved.
This demonstration will be done by the interpretation of jazz standards as well as pieces from the American Songbook. It will be supplemented by brief comments, examples and explanations.
Ultimately, this concert is a playful journey through musical codes that will bring new light to this wonderful conversational music that is jazz.
Voluntary contribution
Aux deux hémisphères
Espace culturel Saint-Gilles, 562, Rte des Outaouais, Brownsburg
Aux deux hémisphères presents on stage the compositions and works of inspiration from the first album by cellist and composer Dominique Beauséjour-Ostiguy, with his acolyte, pianist Jean-Michel Dubé.
Presented in an original formula and accessible to all audiences, Aux deux hémisphères really allows you to enter the process of creation of Dominique: not only are on the program original compositions, but also featured works of the repertoire for cello and piano that were sources of inspiration in the writing process of the young composer and cellist.
In both hemispheres, it makes us travel between the torment and passion of post-romantic European composers such as Rachmaninov and Fauré, the heat and fiery rhythms of Argentine composers such as Piazzolla, to finally land here, in Quebec, in this universe inspired and tinged by these two hemispheres.
Lyricism, virtuosity, intensity and discovery: this is what awaits you with Aux deux hémisphères.
