What’s on?
First, on Oct. 12 is the Marc Atkinson Trio featuring Atkinson’s fiery but elegant guitar style, the laidback humour and ‘good time’ feel of Canada’s West Coast.
Double Double Duo will perform on Nov. 16 with original arrangements of classical showpieces, sensitive jazz ballads and fiery folk music from around the globe. Each duo member is a ‘double threat’ on two instruments: Kornel Wolak (clarinet/piano) and Michael Bridge (accordions/piano). Classically trained international soloists, they bring comedy, virtuosity and musical sensitivity to their broad repertoire.
On Feb. 15, 2019, Duo Fortin-Poirier, made up of pianists Amélie Fortin and Marie-Christine Poirier, have distinguished themselves with fiery four-hand interpretations remarkable for their vitality and wit. A close affinity between their playing styles along with a sharp, shared sensitivity fuel their extraordinary ensemble playing. Since they started in 2005, this duo has made waves in Canada and abroad. Much loved in Quebec, their albums are broadcast regularly.
Finally, on March 29, an amazing eight cellos will be on stage with O-Celli, a musical project started in Brussels and characterized by its originality and dynamic presentation.
All eight musicians share their passion for the extraordinary richness of their instruments. They have performed in many European festivals in Belgium and France, toured in eastern Canada and recently performed in Switzerland and Luxembourg. They are not to be missed.
