After almost a decade of playing all Bach cantatas, it was only natural for Bourgie Hall to take a short year (23-24) to breathe. But above all, to prepare for the next cycle, which promises to be just as memorable and will start in 24-25. The musical institution based at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts is preparing to kick off its next complete cycle, which will take at least six years to complete, perhaps more : all of Schubert’s lieder. Many with piano, of course, but also, we are promised, some with orchestra or ensemble, several arranged by other composers, a few lieder by lesser-known colleagues, and even new compositions in homage to the great Franz. I discussed this exciting project with Salle Bourgie’s artistic director, Olivier Godin.
