Music to your ears at your fingertips

With original compositions inspired by modern jazz, funk, and blues, Pulsart Trio is a one-of-a-kind ensemble in Canada, ready to take you on an unforgettable musical journey!

Combining organ, vibraphone, and drums, the group redefines 1960s jazz with a modern twist, infused with progressive jazz, funk, and experimental music. Each performance is a unique adventure where improvisation reigns and the instruments come to life. Their latest album, Interférences, is a musical epic that transports you from Earth to the heart of the Crab Nebula, blending music and astronomy. This work marks a new chapter for the group.

Having celebrated their tenth anniversary together, Olivier Madore-Millette (organ), Simon Beauséjour (drums), and Jérémie Carrier (vibraphone) continue to aim for the stars, building on a career marked by four acclaimed albums—including two GAMIQ nominations—and recognition as one of the best albums of 2019. In 2021, they won the Grand Prix de la Relève at the Festi Jazz International de Rimouski. Pulsart released an EP in the fall of 2024 with the Pulsart’Kestra project, an expanded version of the group featuring nine musicians from the Quebec jazz scene.

For the first time, the Duo Fibonacci will perform at the Saint-Cyriac Chapel!

The highlight of this concert: Max Richter’s masterful reimagining of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, which will transport you to the very edge of the past and the present. It’s Vivaldi 2.0, to which the trio will bring its own colors and textures in a deeply intimate interpretation. In addition, a piece by Marie-Pierre Brasset inspired by the Tarot, titled La Lune, will also be on the program. Everyone is welcome to this first concert of the season!

Duo Fibonacci : Julie-Anne Derome, violin, and Maxim Shatalkin, piano

This concert for cello and piano celebrates Francophone music through a varied repertoire ranging from César Franck to Nadia Boulanger, while showcasing works by Quebec composers, including Anne Lauber.

The program also features a new work by François Dompierre, conceived as a nod to the Musée de la civilisation’s exhibition Honneur au peuple du Québec.

Featuring: Noémie Raymond, cello, and Isabelle David, piano

Young guest artists at the start of the concert: Shantie Bédard-Pacic, oboe ∙ Raphaëlle Sylvain, clarinet ∙ Nabi Watters-Kim, bassoon

This narrated concert accompanies the exhibition HONNEUR AU PEUPLE DU QUÉBEC at the Musée de la civilisation.

Soprano Monique Pagé and organist Yves-G. Préfontaine invite us on a captivating journey of discovery through the Italian repertoire of the 17th and 18th centuries. By turns playful, poetic, sometimes unexpected, and often surprising, these pieces promise a most enjoyable afternoon in the company of famous composers—and others far less well-known—who nonetheless deserve their rightful place among the greats of that era.

The program features works by Antonio Vivaldi, Giovanni Battista Martini, Bernardo Storace, Salvatore, and several other Italian masters. Not to mention Johann Sebastian Bach and Johann Gottfried Walther—two Germans, it’s true—who both drew directly from the sublime works of the Italians… and transposed them for the organ. It’s hard to resist such a musical feast!

Three members of the Pallade Musica ensemble present reimagined versions of Bach’s trio sonatas—originally written for organ—as well as some of J.S.B.’s most tender and poetic slow movements, which are among these performers’ favorites.

Ensemble Pallade Musica : Tanya Laperrière, baroque violin ∙ Dorothéa Ventura, harpsichord ∙ Caroline Tremblay, recorder
