In addition to its festival, which has been held every fall for the past 16 years, Akousma offers year-round discussion-concerts in its Électrochoc series, which aims to familiarize the public with the world of electroacoustic music and celebrate the creativity of the students in the composition and performance classes of its artistic director, Louis Dufort, and his eminent colleague Martin Bédard. This is an opportunity to get to know some budding talents.
The concert is preceded by a lecture at 7:30 p.m., so it’s worth arriving a little earlier.
