Additional Information
The SMCQ’s 60th anniversary celebrations continue under the theme “Intergenerational Dialogues,” this time featuring the Orchestre de l’Agora. Scheduled for this Saturday, March 21, at 9:30 p.m. at Salle Pierre-Mercure, the program “From Classics to New Works” aims to create a harmonious dialogue between new compositions and classics created in Quebec. The classics are by Jacques Hétu and Claude Vivier, while the new works are by Alexandre David and Maggie Ayotte (commissioned by the Orchestre de l’Agora). The program features soloists Marina Thibeault (viola), Thomas Beard (cello), and Noémie Caron-Marcotte (flute), under the baton of guest conductor Benoît Gauthier. Let’s take this opportunity to learn more about the career of this young maestro from the North Shore, a graduate of the prestigious Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia.
