Tisseur de vent
Église Notre-Dame de Laterrière, 6167 rue Notre-Dame
Le Tisseur de vent invites us to explore the musical universe of Francis Colpron, flutist and founder of the Boréades de Montréal. We will discover more intimately what, from his beginnings to today, has shaped and inspired him, between rare virtuosity and the truth of expression. In a journey marked by musical pieces and short anecdotes, Colpron will give us the origin of his love for the flute as well as for Baroque music and beyond, opening the door to the person behind the flutist.
