The Montreal-based Forestare Guitar Ensemble – 12 classical guitarists and a double bass player – invites you to a modern reinterpretation of pieces from the baroque repertoire, by Vivaldi, Lully and Johann Sebastian Bach. During this concert, not only will the ensemble recount the story of the Baroque period’s composers with humour, but it will also draw a parallel with the history of New France, at the same time. You will even learn what kind of relationship the early settlers had with the First Nations. Music as an excuse to go back to our roots.
