(CANCELLED) Fennesz • Britton Powell • Eliza Kavtion
Austria’s Christian Fennesz released the album Agora on Touch in March 2019, then performed at the Suoni per il Popolo in June. The recording and concert were simply extraordinary, the sort of rare sound experiences from which one comes out transformed. Rich textural sediments with great saturation effects, digitally processed samples, electric guitars, effect pedals and other microvariations, there’s so much precious metals in the Fennesz mine for prospectors of horizontal music to extract. Total noise coexists perfectly with white noise, with the sharper frequencies and consonantly overlapping melodic scales. Needless to say, this concert by a master back in Montreal is an absolute must.

(CANCELLED) Thierry Bégin-L.
Thierry Bégin-Lamontagne is undoubtedly one of the most gifted classical guitarists in Quebec. Since his teenage years, this authentic virtuoso has always shown a surprising ability to reach very high technical standards, which has led him to an international level of attention. And that’s why nylon-string guitar fans absolutely must discover him, if they haven’t already. For this concert, he’ll play works by J.S. Bach, Mauro Giuliani, Eduardo Sáinz de la Maza, Agustín Barrios Mangoré, Patrick Roux, Arnaud Dumond and Carlo Domeniconi. (Alain Brunet)
