Images oubliées
Le Vitrail, 1254 Ste-Marthe, Thetford Mines
Through a unique and thematic concert, cellist Stéphane Tétreault and pianist Olivier Hébert-Bouchard offer you a musical retrospective on the life of Claude Debussy!
By transforming the «soloist» aspect of these works into a conception for two instruments in dialogue, the language of Debussy’s sounds resonates differently, sometimes more intimate, sometimes more grandiose, but always with the intention of creating a strong link with the audience. The evocative power of these compositions is inevitably altered, since they now tell their story but also that of the two musicians who transmit them.

The Nine Maidens
Espace culturel Saint-Gilles, 562, Rte des Outaouais, Brownsburg-Chatham
Ensemble Ménestrel • Janelle Lucyk, voice & violin • Kerry Bursey, voice & lute
Through voices, a myriad of plucked strings, and some violin, Ménestrel performs old music in an intimate manner, with ayres and ballads recounting the transience of good fortune in the life of a voyager. In The Nine Maidens, these English-language folk songs provide vivid imagery of age-old expeditions, daring escapes and voyaging delights. In response to the action packed folk songs, baroque airs offer reflection and represent the inward feelings of the heroines. The program includes music by Purcell, Dowland, Gilles Binchois, and Guillaume de Machaut.
