Production Chapelle historique du Bon-Pasteur
From flute to hyper flute by way of some digital twists and turns, Cléo Palacio-Quintin reinvents her instrument. This year’s composer-in-residence at the Chapelle Historique du Bon-Pasteur opens her season with an autobiographical concert made up of key works from her career, including a salute to Gilles Tremblay with his work Envol. The event provides a wide-angled view of a multi-talented artist… and of her surprisingly astonishing instrument.

Combining electronics with flutes (“hyper flutes”) and viola da gamba, Fiolûtröniq’s devotion to new music allows audiences to discover unique repertoire at each of its concerts.
The SMCQ has been moving in step with the lively rhythms of new music for over forty-five years. With its regular concert season, its Série hommage (Homage Series), an international festival, and a young listener’s programme, the society has served both as a platform for today’s composers and as a window on creative works for everyone.
