SMCQ: SIX THÈMES SOLAIRES

SMCQ: SIX THÈMES SOLAIRES

Information on the activity

April 17, 2014 | 19 H

Ten renowned Quebec soloists interpret ten movements of Six thèmes solaires, Denis Gougeon’s famous planetary cycle. These ten short pieces, each associated with a celestial body and a specific instrument, will immerse you in a surprising musical odyssey. Musicians scattered throughout the audience plus a novel visual atmosphere will provide you with a unique sensory experience. Presenter Yanick Villedieu will guide you through the spaces while the journey will be mise en abyme (framed within a frame) through "astro-videos". Interspersed during these ten movements, the Ensemble de la SMCQ will interpret three works composed by Denis Gougeon’s alumni, each inspired by Six thèmes solaires.
