Festival Flux : John Kameel-Farah à l’Église Sacré-Coeur-de-Jésus

Thu 09 Oct 2025 • 08:00 pm Arabic Classical / Baroque / Electronic
Église Sacré-Coeur-de-Jésus - Montréal 20$ ou 25$
· by Rédaction PAN M 360

Célèbre pour des performances où s’entrelacent le contrepoint ciselé des maîtres baroques et la souplesse des improvisations issues de la musique arabe classique, le compositeur-improvisateur canado-palestinien John Kameel Farah s’impose comme l’une des voix les plus envoûtantes de la scène contemporaine. À l’occasion de Flux 2026, il élèvera une véritable cathédrale de claviers dans l’acoustique transcendante de l’Église du Sacré-Cœur-de-Jésus, à Montréal.
Puisant à la fois dans les siècles de tradition du maqâm arabe et dans l’architecture spirituelle de J. S. Bach, sa musique s’enracine dans l’héritage tout en s’ouvrant sans cesse vers de nouveaux horizons : paysages électroniques, textures expérimentales, mondes inédits.
Elle circule librement entre l’orgue d’église, le piano et les synthétiseurs analogiques anciens, pour façonner une architecture sonore complexe et mouvante. Les improvisations naissent comme des méditations contrapuntiques, s’enroulent en boucles électroniques hypnotiques, ou s’épanouissent en vastes mélodies inspirées des maqâmât.
Son parcours l’a mené des salles de concert aux clubs souterrains, de Jérusalem à Berlin, des fugues aux feedbacks. En 2023, il partageait la scène avec les légendaires Tangerine Dream, inscrivant son art dans la lignée cosmique de la musique électronique. Mais au cœur de sa démarche demeure une fidélité profonde : l’alliance de la rigueur baroque et de la liberté improvisatrice arabe, filtrée par le prisme de ses racines palestiniennes.
Dans l’intimité de cette cathédrale montréalaise, Farah métamorphose ses claviers en navires de mémoire et d’imaginaire – des vaisseaux portant l’héritage et le souvenir sur une mer de sons.

Renowned for performances that weave together the ornate counterpoint of Baroque masters with the fluid improvisations of Arabic classical music, Palestinian-Canadian composer/improvisor John Kameel Farah is one of the most compelling contemporary artists on the scene today. For Flux 2026, he’ll create a cathedral of keyboards in the transcendent acoustics of Église Sacré-Coeur-de-Jésus, Montréal.
Drawing on centuries of Arab maqam traditions and the spiritual architecture of J. S. Bach, Farah’s music is steeped in heritage, yet constantly opening outward, embracing electronic soundscapes and experimental textures. It moves fluidly between the church organ, piano, and vintage analog synthesizers, crafting an intricate sonic architecture. Improvisations are launched as contrapuntal meditations, spiral into hypnotic electronic loops, or blossom into expansive, maqam-inspired melodies.
Farah’s journey has brought him from concert halls to underground clubs, from Jerusalem to Berlin, from fugues to feedback. In 2023, he shared the stage with the legendary Tangerine Dream, paying homage to the cosmic lineage of electronic music. Yet at the heart of his artistry remains a profound devotion to heritage: the meeting of Baroque rigor and Arabic improvisatory freedom, refracted through the lens of his Palestinian roots.
In this intimate performance, Farah transforms keyboards into vessels of memory and imagination – ships bearing heritage and memory on a sonic voyage.
