A WORD FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR
A normal season in 2021-2022?
That’s what we wholeheartedly wish for! To have you with for our four fine and varied concerts!
Two of these concerts will be more substantial: magnificent, sensual, and expressive opera arias by the young Mozart, with Marie-Eve Munger and the Boréades orchestra; and Bach’s four Missæ Breve, for soloists, orchestra, and choir (in this case, the Saint Lawrence Choir). The excellent Philippe Bourque, musical director of the latter choir, and with whom we are always delighted to collaborate, will direct both these concerts.
As well as evenings of music by these two giants, we offer two more intimate but nonetheless fascinating concerts. In one, full of life and delicacy, the flute, violin, and indispensable basso continuo will present an overview of French chamber music from the beginning of the 18th century. The second intimate concert will feature a sparkling traverso duo; I will have the pleasure of playing with my guest and colleague, Alexa Raine-Wright.
Looking forward to seeing you!
Francis Colpron
Artistic director

Arias and overtures from operas by young Mozart
Marie-Ève Munger, soprano
The orchestre of Les Boréades
Directed by Philippe Bourque
Everyone today knows of Mozart’s extraordinarily precocious genius. While writing sonatas and symphonies as a child he was already irresistibly attracted by the opera.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][icon_text box_type=”normal” icon=”fa-calendar” icon_type=”normal” icon_position=”left_from_title” icon_size=”fa-lg” use_custom_icon_size=”no” title_tag=”h5″ separator=”no” icon_color=”#7d9dce” title=”FRIDAY, OCTOBER 29 2021, 7:30 P.M”][icon_text box_type=”normal” icon=”fa-map-marker” icon_type=”normal” icon_position=”left_from_title” icon_size=”fa-lg” use_custom_icon_size=”no” title_tag=”h5″ separator=”no” icon_color=”#7d9dce” title=”Église Saint-Laurent”]

WORKS BY COUPERIN, MARAIS, HOTTETERRE, JACQUET DE LA GUERRE, AND BOISMORTIER
As well as being obsessed with his own glory, Louis XIV had three other passions: women, buildings, and music. During his seemingly interminable reign — it lasted almost 65 years — the first two passions faded; the first because of the spirit of devotion imposed on the court by Mme de Maintenon, his morganatic wife, the second because of the economic troubles afflicting the kingdom.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][icon_text box_type=”normal” icon=”fa-calendar” icon_type=”normal” icon_position=”left_from_title” icon_size=”fa-lg” use_custom_icon_size=”no” title_tag=”h5″ separator=”no” icon_color=”#7d9dce” title=”SUNDAY APRIL 10 2022, 3 P.M”][icon_text box_type=”normal” icon=”fa-map-marker” icon_type=”normal” icon_position=”left_from_title” icon_size=”fa-lg” use_custom_icon_size=”no” title_tag=”h5″ separator=”no” icon_color=”#7d9dce” title=”Salle de concert du Conservatoire”]
