Presented as part of the Conservatoire de musique de Montréal’s Sunday concert series, this program feature premieres by composers John Plant, Louis Babin and Jean Derome, among others. A graduate of McGill University in composition, John Plant first began composing vocal music, before turning his attention to instrumental music in the last decade. For his part, Louis Babin is known for his playful, sometimes theatrical style. Performers Marie-Josée Simard and Louise Bessette aren’t new to the music of Jean Derome – in 2017, they presented his Tombeau de Marin Mersenne in a Carte Blanche concert for Simard at the Chapelle historique du Bon-Pasteur.
