Coproduction Ensemble contemporain de Montréal (ECM+) / Appassionata, Orchestre de chambre
In the tradition of its concerts with big screen, ECM+ invites Appassionata to join its ranks to create a symphony orchestra of 36 musicians for the presentation of L’Amour sorcier, a show inspired by Manuel de Falla’s great work of the same title. With a scenario by Matthias Maute and Foumalade’s original videos, this imaginative Gipsy tale serves as a common thread to link the evening’s Canadian premieres with Ana Sokolović’s Nine Proverbs.
Matthias Maute, scenario; Foumalade, video; Caroline Nadeau, lighting; Marie-Josée Chartier, staging.

The Ensemble contemporain de Montréal (ECM+) has produced innovative, multi-disciplinary concerts, both broadening the horizons of musical creativity and introducing guest soloists and ensembles to the Montreal public since 1987.
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.
