Additional Information
For the first time in Montreal, Arion Orchestre Baroque will be conducted by Swiss violinist Leila Schayegh, “praised for her embodied and ravishingly cantabile playing” if we take up the description suggested by Arion. Corelli, Vivaldi, Muffat, Pisendel – what a grand tour of Europe! In this sense, the concertos on the program illustrate a diversity of Baroque styles representative of their era, and also highlight the shared or integrated influences of their creators. Between two rehearsals, Leila Schayegh tells us more about these notions and the specific characteristics of the works on the program for Saturday November 9 and Sunday November 10 at Salle Bourgie. Alain Brunet met her virtually for PAN M 360.
