From the Grand Theatre de Quebec to 94 schools throughout the province, from the National Assembly to Montreal’s Church of the Immaculate Conception, Gilles Tremblay was discussed more than ever last week. Here, we (re) live the best moments with you:

• by viewing the photos of the Vêpres de la Vierge concert, and listening to the Radio-Canada recording (April 21st, 8:00 pm, as part of the “Soirées classiques” program; on Espace Musique, or upon request from April 26th on the Espace Classique webradio);
• by reading the statement paying tribute to Tremblay, made by Christine St-Pierre, Minister of Culture, Communications and Status of Women, in the Quebec legislature;
• by browsing through what the media coverage, including Le Soleil and Le Journal de Quebec;
• by delving into the composer’s life through comics, as did the 14,215 Quebec children involved in the Grand jeu / Grande écoute project.
