Under the direction of Matthias Maute, the ArtChoral ensemble invites music lovers to take a virtual stroll through the autumnal Paris of the previous century.In Montreal (November 8) and Quebec City (November 10), works by Fauré share the program with Édith Piaf and Yves Montand, not to mention their authors and composers, starting with Prévert and Kosma, to whom we owe Les feuilles mortes.Alexandre Villemaire met Matthias Maute for PAN M 360.

Daran has been a household name in French-speaking America since 1992, and has since acquired Canadian citizenship, although he still travels back and forth between Quebec and France, where he regularly works as a producer. In October, he released his eleventh studio album, Grand Hôtel Apocalypse, which he will perform for the first time in Montreal as part of the Coup de cœur francophone, on Saturday November 9 at the Lion d’Or, preceded by Alicia Deschênes. From the outset, Daran’s rock songs have been both abrasive and meaningful, the expression of a quest for balance between polished lyrics and raw notes. Alain Brunet, who was the first Quebec journalist to interview him in April 1992 at the Printemps de Bourges festival, takes up the conversation with the artist who can now be considered as much a Quebecer as a Frenchman.
To conclude this series of autumn concerts under the Malasartes banner, RadioTango invites fans of the Argentinian style to a Gran Milonga Gran, conducive to the subtleties of this singular art and essentially exploring the repertoire of the 20s and 30s. Mélanie Bergeron, bandoneonist, accordionist, pianist and even professional dancer, talks to us here about her colleagues, Damian Ninsenson, who was persuaded to embody this Argentinian spirit of another era in his native country, of course Argentina. Chantal Bergeron on violin, Francis Palmas Pelletier on double bass, Sebastian Verdugo on piano. Gran Milonga Gran completes the Malasartes loop at the Sala Rossa, this Friday, November 8. Alain Brunet conducted the interview for PAN M 360.
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.

Educated as a keyboardist in Tokyo, Miho Hazama has become one of the most promising and talented composers and arrangers of her generation in New York. She is clearly one of the successors to the established composers, arrangers and leaders of contemporary jazz, notably her teacher and mentor Jim McNeely, with whom she studied at the Manhattan School of Music. Her compositions include works written for the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra (JP), the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra (SE) and the Metropole Orkest (NL). As a conductor, she has been associated with the Danish Radio Big Band, the Metropole Orkest, the WDR Big Band (DE), the Norrbotten Big Band (SE), the KORK Orchestra (NO) and the New York Jazzharmonic, to name but a few. Understandably, her first appearance in Montreal is an event for the local community of musicians and music lovers. The composer and maestra will conduct a program including her own works and others by Maria Schneider, Toshiko Akiyoshi, Camila Meza and Christine Jensen. All of which justifies this interview between Miho Hazana and Alain Brunet.

Chaâbi is a song form born in Algeria at the beginning of the previous century, an extrapolation of the Arabo-Andalusian legacy that has had a singular trajectory beyond Algeria. Now considered a consecrated form, the Nesraf group is arousing nostalgia among its fans, as well as a renewed interest in these tunes that have become mythical in the Maghreb and the Middle East. That’s why Keithy Antoine conducted this interview with Nassim Gadouche of Nesraf for PAN M 360.
Founded in 1987, Coup de cœur francophone is now in its 37th year in Montreal, with no fewer than 100 artists and groups taking to the stage from November 7 to 17. This is undoubtedly an illustration of the creative current in the field of francophone expression in America, whether in music or hip-hop, not to mention the influx of artists from the European francophonie. That’s why PAN M 360 invited Noémie Laniel, the CCF’s new head of programming, to explain the subtleties of the program. Alain Brunet met her by video-conference.
It’s no coincidence that Fairouz Oudjida bears the same first name as the great Lebanese Diva Fairuz.And it would seem that this name predestined her to become the “Diva of the Desert”, as she is known to Algerian audiences.Indeed, the soprano singer blends classical music with traditional Berber-Arabic songs.She became soloist with the Algerian National Symphony Orchestra and received several awards, including one from the President of the Republic of Algeria.This is not her first appearance at the Festival du Monde Arabe de Montréal, but for this 25th edition, she will be accompanied by a brand new ensemble on November 21 at the Gésu.Our journalist Sandra Gasana talks with her for PANM360.
Malika Zarra sings and composes her own highly personal music, an inspired and natural blend of jazz, gnawa, châabi and Berber traditions. She has been touring Europe, America and the Arab world for over twenty years now.
On 8 November, she will be on stage in the Cinquième salle at Place des Arts in Montreal, for an eagerly awaited concert under the auspices of the Festival du Monde Arabe 2024. Here’s an interview.
In 2022, Zach Zoya negotiated a more pop-oriented turn with the No Love Is Ever WastedEP , and he’s staying the course with the new It’s Always Sunny in Glendale EP on the 7ième Ciel label, a title that ironizes the sunny Californian climate, but may also be a decoy for the artistic jungle that thrives there.For several months now, the Quebec singer and rapper has been residing in California, essentially to develop his career, while maintaining strong links with his core group of Montreal beatmakers and producers.He’s back in MTL with his band on November 1st, at Ausgang Plaza, to defend the 7 tracks on his new EP and more.Alain Brunet met him virtually for the occasion and, of course, to ask about his Californian life.
As has been reported in all the mainstream media over the past few days, the progressive destruction of the nerve endings in her index finger – the main finger on her right hand that holds the bow – is incurable, following a battery of tests that have led Angèle Dubeau to officially stop playing. After 58 years of daily practice and almost 50 albums, which have taken her all over the planet, with awards to show for it (21 Félix at ADISQ at the time of writing), one can imagine the grief of the musician who has also put an end to the activities of her string ensemble La Pietà. Alain Brunet, who interviewed her many times during her career, also asked about her condition.
Since 2016, Greg Beaudin (Snailkid with Dead Obies) and his brother Jam (K6A, Jam P and Dox) have been reunited with their father Robin Kerr, an authentic Rasta crooner transplanted to Quebec to start a family with his native mom. The sons have taken to hip-hop and R&B, while the father has remained faithful to dancehall and roots reggae, but the two generations share a common ground in the Brown Family. With the release of their 3rd album on Disques7ième Ciel, father and sons merge the legacies of their respective generations better than ever on the 10 tracks of this fresh opus. Greg Beaudin talks to Alain Brunet about Durags et cœurs brisés, a title that recalls his half-Jamaican origins by evoking durag, the fabric used as headgear by rastas and Afrodescendants wishing to confine their dreads when necessary.
