It’s the middle of winter… so what? Isn’t it better to talk about it than to wallow in denial and impatience? That’s exactly why I Musici de Montréal will feature horn players Louis-Philippe Marsolais and Louis-Pierre Bergeron with a promise of nothing less than a “hike from the Prussian forest to the Rocky Mountains”! This trek also promises to be through time, as we plunge in turn into the Baroque period with Jean-Philippe Rameau, the Classical period with Ludwig van Beethoven and Ferdinand Ries, and the contemporary era with Alberta composer John McPherson.
