Coproduction Transmission / SMCQ

Refinement and originality will be the order of the day for a concert where Gilles Tremblay will move in circles with some of the biggest names in recent French music. Shimmering sounds and sheer resonances — here the Transmission ensemble offers audiences a jewel for the ears. The Transmission ensemble is a small group of six seasoned musicians (without a conductor), dedicated to major works of the modern and contemporary repertoire.
Gilles Tremblay, «… le sifflement des vents porteurs de l’amour» (1971)
flute and percussion
Walter Boudreau, Coffre III(a) (Le cercle gnostique I {<Incantations IV>}) (1978, 84)
flute (or clarinet), cello and piano
Gérard Grisey, Taléa ou la machine et les herbes folles (1985-86)
flute (piccolo, flute in G and bass flute), clarinet (clarinet in A and bass clarinet), piano, violin and cello
Tristan Murail, Treize couleurs du soleil couchant (1978)
flute, clarinet, piano, violin and cello
Philippe Leroux, Continuo(ns) (1994)
Iannis Xenakis, Charisma (1971)
clarinet, and cello
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.
