Additional Information
Not all the repertoires of Quebec’s late French-speaking chanson stars are familiar to the generations that followed them. We know Félix Leclerc, Claude Léveillée, Jean-Pierre Ferland, Sylvain Lelièvre, Gerry Boulet, Dédé Fortin and Karl Tremblay, but do we really know their repertoires? It’s even less obvious for Lawrence Lepage or Georges Dor. Here’s a program that deserves a few explanations from its creator, author, composer, performer and circus performer Louis-Dominique Lévesque, who has been leading a group of musicians since 2009, regularly presenting a program of songs by deceased artists. Que je me souvienne aims to pass on Quebec’s songwriting legacy, and can best be described as a memory show. Alain Brunet interviewed him ahead of his concert, scheduled for Saturday May 31 at Place des Arts’ Salle Claude-Léveillée.
