Classica 2025 Presented by Marc Boucher: Women’s Cellos

Interview by Alain Brunet
Genres and styles : Early Music / Modern Classical / période romantique / Pop / Tango

Additional Information

The artistic direction of the Classica festival has assembled an all-female quartet of Quebec cellists: Kateryna Bragina, Chloé Dominguez, Agnès Langlois and Noémie Raymond. Composers from different eras will be highlighted in this propitious context: Nadia Boulanger, Isabella Leonarda, Hildegarde von Bingen and even Charlotte Cardin! There will also be Debussy, Monteverdi, Bruch, Corrette and Carlos Gardel, the world’s first modern crooner. Marc Boucher came up with the idea for Violoncelles au féminin, a program scheduled for June 4. He defends his choice in this fragment of a long interview conducted by Alain Brunet.
