Additional Information
As we noted last September, for its 60th anniversary, the Société de musique contemporaine du Québec is eschewing self-congratulation and retrospection in favor of intergenerational dialogue, bringing together different eras of contemporary music and their Quebec protagonists. Until next May, the SMCQ is offering six ambitious and creative programs, featuring a mix of generations of composers: Fougue concertante January 30, Carte blanche à la relève February 20, Des classiques aux créations March 21, Jeux de couleurs April 17, Dialogues intergénérationnels – Carte blanche à Cristian Gort May 21. Artistic director of the SMCQ, composer Simon Bertrand sets the stage for the winter-spring portion of this 60th anniversary celebration. Alain Brunet met with him.
