Claude Debussy: Images oubliées with Stéphane Tétreault & Olivier Hébert-Bouchard
Théâtre du Lac-Brome, 9, Chemin du Mont-Écho, Knowlton
At 19h, discover some keys to listening to the music of Debussy with musicologist Marilou Garon.
Who is Marilou Garon?
As the host of a classical music program on Radio VM, Marilou Garon has for many years been presenting public lectures and pre-concert talks, particularly for the Orchestre métropolitain, the City of Montreal and the Belles Heures de l’Université de Montréal. She has also worked in communications for several cultural organizations, including the I Musici de Montréal chamber orchestra, the Orchestre symphonique de Québec, the Marlboro Music Festival and the Hopkins Center for the Performing Arts. Pianist, graduated in musicology and education, Marilou Garon is a passionate advocate of access to classical music for all.
Reinvented for cello and piano by two artists whose reputation is well known, these forgotten images paint a timeless portrait of this musical legend.
By combining these two instruments, the atmospheres evoked in these pieces are therefore more defined. By transforming the «solo» aspect of these works into a design for two instruments in dialogue, Debussy’s sound language resonates differently, sometimes more intimate, sometimes more grandiose, but always with the intention of creating a strong connection with the public. The evocative power of these compositions is therefore inevitably altered, since they now tell their story but also that of the two musicians who transmit them.
Through this singular and thematic concert, the cellist Stéphane Tétreault and the pianist Olivier Hébert-Bouchard offer you a retrospective all in music on the life of Claude Debussy!

Buy your ticketsConference: The saxophone in the history of jazz
Théâtre du Lac-Brome, 9, Chemin du Mont-Écho, Knowlton
Lecture by Stanley Péan
Invented by Adolphe Sax and patented in Paris in March 1846, the saxophone is as much appreciated by jazz musicians as by their colleagues from the world of so-called classical music, even if the qualities required of the instrument are different for each of these styles. In jazz, the saxophone has allowed musicians to express their individuality, and that is why the raucous sounds and the hum of the instrument contribute to the texture of the music. In classical music, the musician usually prefers an instrument with a clear and finely controlled sound, whose precision is similar to that of the clarinet.
With the musical support of a trio led by the virtuoso Samuel Blais, as comfortable in jazz as in the repertoire of classical music, and as brilliant on the saxophones of various registers, the writer and music lover Stanley Péan traces the evolution of Coleman Hawkins’ instrument to his contemporary disciples, going through all the stylistic variations of jazz.
About the speaker
It was the sound of the trumpet that put host and writer Stanley Péan on his way to the blue note as a teenager. Over the years, the curiosity of the Saguenéen of Haitian origin has turned into a passion that he shares at ICI Musique.
