Additional Information
In 2022, Jeanne Laforest is not far from her student days at McGill University’s Schulich School of Music. She released an album of songs characterized by their rich orchestrations. The songs on Puisque les heures nous manquent are infused with romantic classical music, early music, contemporary music and jazz, as well as electro, jungle rhythms and autotuned vocals. The songwriter, composer, arranger, keyboardist and singer went on to reach the semi-finals of the Festival international de la chanson de Granby. Freed from competitions and university studies, she is now at the helm of a variable-geometry chamber orchestra that performs her music and songs. The first incarnation was Buissonor, soon to become Forestuor. Jeanne Laforest’s real Montreal debut will take place at Centre PHI, this Saturday, September 21, 8pm. PAN M 360 interviewed this resourceful young artist, who explains the Buissonor and Forestuor concepts to Alain Brunet.
