Centre d’art de Richmond

Claude Debussy: Images oubliées

Centre d’art de Richmond, 1010, Principale Street North

Reinvented for cello and piano by two renowned artists, these Images oubliées paint a timeless portrait of this musical legend. By the combination of these two instruments, the atmospheres evoked in these pieces are thus more defined. By transforming the «solo» aspect of these works into a conception for two instruments in dialogue, Debussy’s language of sounds resounds differently, sometimes more intimate, sometimes more grandiose, but always with the intention of creating a striking link 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, cellist Stéphane Tétreault and pianist Olivier Hébert-Bouchard offer a musical retrospective on the life of Claude Debussy!

La Belle Chapelle

Aux deux hémisphères

La Belle Chapelle, 500 rue Murray, Sherbrooke

Aux deux hémisphères presents on stage the compositions and works of inspiration from the first album by cellist and composer Dominique Beauséjour-Ostiguy, with his acolyte, pianist Jean-Michel Dubé.

Presented in an original formula and accessible to all audiences, Aux deux hémisphères really allows you to enter the process of creation of Dominique: not only are on the program original compositions, but also featured works of the repertoire for cello and piano that were sources of inspiration in the writing process of the young composer and cellist.

In both hemispheres, it makes us travel between the torment and passion of post-romantic European composers such as Rachmaninov and Fauré, the heat and fiery rhythms of Argentine composers such as Piazzolla, to finally land here, in Quebec, in this universe inspired and tinged by these two hemispheres.

Lyricism, virtuosity, intensity and discovery: this is what awaits you with Aux deux hémisphères.

General admission 35$ | Student 18$

Le Vaisseau d’Art

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.

General admission $20 | Students 12 to 17 years 10$ | Children 11 years and under free

Valérie Milot, harp

Centre d’art de Richmond, 1010 rue Principale N.

As a soloist for over 15 years, Valérie Milot presents her accomplice; a rare instrument with an exquisite sound named Apollonia; the great lady of the harp. This intimate recital unmasking the secrets of this instrument rarely seen on the front stage, in an accessible repertoire. Passionate about history and music, Valérie presents her favorite works with simplicity and humor.

The greatest quality of this recital is undoubtedly its insistence on the simple beauty of music always very accessible. If the musician offers us to discover this companion of life, it is by inviting us to be charmed by her. After 75 minutes of music, no one can doubt that the harp has a powerful seductive power that it is up to the performer to reveal, which Valérie Milot knows how to do with great fervour. _François Houde, Le Nouvelliste, July 31, 2021
