This piece was created almost 10 years after the Suite no 1, composed in 1973, thus completing the work of mixing jazz music and classical music by Claude Bolling. Also on the program, magnificent Christmas pieces!

Réservez vos billetsLes lettres de Chopin
Théâtre Alphonse-Desjardins, 25 Allée de la Création
In 1838, to escape the gossip of society, the unlikely couple, formed by the author George Sand and the pianist and composer Frédéric Chopin, found refuge on the island of Majorca where the lovers thought they could devote themselves to their art: she with her pen, him with his piano. Unfortunately, the instrument commissioned by Chopin is slow to join them. In the driving rain, as the dream vacation falls by the wayside, their relationship is put to the test. A musical tale by Denis Plante, Les Lettres de Chopin gives voice to George Sand who reveals with humour and tenderness the secrets of his moving relationship with this young genius, Frédéric Chopin, all accompanied by music from the most beautiful pages of the famous pianist.

Espace culturel Saint-Gilles, 562, Rte des Outaouais
The Guitaromanie concert brings back to life the frenzy and wonder of a musical performance where spontaneity blends with virtuosity. It brings together masterpieces of guitar that attracted crowds and made the music salons all over Europe vibrate. Whether it was an operatic fantasia by Mauro Giuliani, a sonata by Niccolo Paganini or a varied theme by Fernando Sor, the European audience was fond of new works for guitar. Sometimes imbued with clarity and rigor, sometimes sprinkled with brilliant theatricals, romantic music for guitar always charms thanks to its richness and diversity

La harpe et ses secrets
Théâtre Alphonse-Desjardins, 25 Allée de la Création
Valérie Milot presents her instrument – the harp – with whom she has been sharing her life for more than 30 years. Sometimes light and airy, sometimes fiery and intense, the harp allows a variety of stamps that evoke and reveal unsuspected worlds. Through her favorite pieces, Valérie will share with you the secrets of the harp, whose history is millenary. From Egyptian hieroglyphs to Marie-Antoinette, this multi-stringed instrument has a journey full of anecdotes, to which those of the life as a musician of Valérie and her accomplice, Apollonia, are superimposed.

Centre d’art de Richmond, 1010 rue Principale nord
Hydro-Québec Classic Series
Elvira Misbakhova – Alto and Meagan Milatz – Piano
This project carries within itself the theme of hope, that fragile and luminous breath that we seek with so much fervor in these times of upheaval. Through the shadows and uncertainty that mark our time, hope remains a guiding flame, a golden thread that connects us to each other. In a world that is changing, sometimes in pain and chaos, we wish that the music that resonates here offers a glimmer of appeasement, a ray of light in the darkness.
This repertoire is an ode to the inner light and silent courage that emerge in difficult times. These sounds aim to create a space where each listener can feel that a future full of beauty and serenity is possible. Each note and each silence are a message of resilience and beauty, a call to gentleness and peace. Music has the power to heal us, unite us and lift us towards the future, even in difficult times.
