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.

Concert by Angelique Francis and her band. Program to be announced.

Blending jazz, soul, and rhythm and blues, violinist and singer Véronique Turcotte presents a vibrant and heartwarming show inspired by her latest album, A Mile in My Shoes. Performing as part of a trio, she interprets several original compositions as well as well-known songs, reimagined with sensitivity and groove.

Originally trained as a classical violinist, Véronique Turcotte was a member of the Gatineau Symphony Orchestra for several years, while also participating in various jazz projects, both vocal and instrumental. Over the course of her career, she has notably accompanied Mario Pelchat and Michel Normandeau (Harmonium) on stage.

For this concert, she will be joined by two leading musicians. On guitar is Pierre Côté, who has recorded and/or toured with Jim Corcoran, Céline Dion, Ginette Reno, Alain Caron (Uzeb), and Cirque du Soleil. A Félix and Juno Award winner, he was recently voted the favorite guitarist among professional guitarists in Quebec (La Presse). On double bass is Guy Boisvert, a member of François Bourassa’s quartet since 1982 (Juno Award for Best Jazz Album in 2001). He has toured extensively in Canada and Europe and has recorded with numerous artists, including Térez Montcalm, Yannick Rieu, and Sylvain Provost. In the intimate setting of the Maison musicale de Warwick, this trio promises a musical evening that is at once warm, refined, and inspired.

Voyage Musical Series

The estuary—where fresh water meets salt water—evokes transition, renewal, and fertility. It is a space of transition and transformation, where unexpected possibilities emerge—just like the musical encounters imagined by Constantinople.
In this new collaboration, Ablaye Cissoko, master of the kora, and Kiya Tabassian, virtuoso of the Persian setar, cross paths for the third time, blending the currents of their musical memories. Joining them is their longtime collaborator, percussionist Patrick Graham, who infuses this sonic conversation with rhythm and nuance. Over the years, their dialogue has deepened, evolving into a profound and inspiring musical conversation. And when the stars align for the duration of a concert, the kora and the setar intertwine their voices to create a spellbinding world that suspends time and soothes the spirit.

Organist Geneviève Soly, founder of Les Idées Heureuses, presents a magnificent concert consisting primarily of works by Johann Sebastian Bach. She will perform the majestic Prelude and Fugue in A minor, BWV 543, as well as challenging preludes and fugues from the first book of The Well-Tempered Clavier.

To round out the program, she will play two delicate chorales by Brahms composed in homage to Bach. Geneviève Soly is considered a leading authority in the field of Baroque music. For 35 years, she served as the director of the Baroque ensemble Les Idées heureuses and has recorded some twenty albums for Analekta.
