Ensemble Scholastica – Le jardin des miracles

Centre Saint-Romuald, 500, rue Saint-Hilaire, Farnham

The vocal and instrumental ensemble Scholastica immerses us in the planant and meditative music of the composer Hildegarde von Bingen, who continues to inspire souls almost a millennium after her birth. A meeting not to be missed with this music of great depth.

Ensemble Scholastica will perform songs from medieval Iberia, a territory first marked by Muslim influence, especially in the field of arts and architecture, then during the thirteenth century, by the enlightened reign of Alfonso X, known as «Le Sage», King of Castile and León. The Cantigas de Santa Maria, compiled under the auspices of Alfonso X, is one of the largest collections of medieval vernacular songs. The collection has more than 400 cantigas, all dedicated to the Virgin Mary, which tell of miracles concerning her faithful, sometimes amazing, often fantastic miracles, ranging from tragic to entertaining.

Dialogues – piano & cello

Centre Saint-Romuald, 500, rue Saint-Hilaire, Farnham

A few days before their performance at New York’s prestigious Carnegie Hall, cellist Noémie Raymond and pianist Zhenni Li-Cohen honor us with a visit to Farnham, in a spellbinding post-romantic and modern repertoire.

This concert explores the duality of two titanic masterpieces for cello and piano, from the pen of a woman and a man born thirteen years apart, Rachmaninov and Clarke, both virtuosic instrumentalists but with surprisingly distinct musical voices. Centred on works dear to the musicians, it is a bridge between two worlds, a conversation between two instruments and two composers, a dialogue between artists and the public.

At this concert, we will also hear a brand new creation by the Quebec composer Christian Thomas.

The battleship Potemkin is 100 years old! This masterpiece of silent cinema by Sergei Eisenstein depicts the mutiny of sailors on the famous battleship in 1905, followed by the bloody repression of the tsar’s armies. A poignant, historic film that still holds its breath a century later.

Vakulinchuk is also killed, and the people of Odessa honor him as a symbol of the revolution. But the arrival of tsarist soldiers will change the course of the uprising.
