Coproduction SMCQ / Orgue et Couleurs in collaboration with SMAM and Society for Arts and Technology [SAT]

This event is also featured as part of:

Walter Boudreau takes to the podium with the choir of the Studio de Musique Ancienne de Montréal (SMAM): an occasion that is not to be missed! As part of a scintillating concert given by the Société de Musique Contemporaine du Québec (SMCQ) that will bring together winds, percussion, organ, choir, and a narrator, the celebrated, red-shod conductor will set aside his own group for the time it takes to perform two works — to bring Claude Vivier alive with a whole choir of voices. A celestial experience at the centre of one fiery musical event!

Presentation as part of Montréal/New Music’s “Série Hommage.”
