Intimate concerts to delve into music and emotions at the Centre des musiciens du monde

Interview by Frédéric Cardin
Genres and styles : Musiques du Monde

Additional Information

The Centre des musiciens du monde in Montréal is presenting a brand new series of events entitled ‘Intimate Concerts’, to be held in a small, welcoming space behind the altar of Saint-Enfant-Jésus church, on the corner of Saint-Dominique and Saint-Joseph. In this space, 50 people will be able to enjoy the spellbinding sounds of the Arabic oud, the Mongolian morin khuur, the Peruvian charango, the Persian setar (not to be confused with the Indian sitar) and the Rwandan inanga. These will be moments of musical, emotional and even spiritual communion, as Frédéric Léotar, the Centre’s General Director, explains in more detail in this interview.
