Additional Information

In February 2024, the Drummondville Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Julien Proulx, launched the first symphonic project dedicated to the repertoire of Benoit Pinette, also known as Tire le coyote. Two years have passed since the experience was revived by the OSD and TLC, this time at the Maison symphonique, on Friday, January 9, at 8 p.m. It should be noted that the excellent Innu soprano Elizabeth St-Gelais is invited to perform several pieces with Tire le coyote. Julien Proulx will also be conducting the Quebec Symphony Orchestra for the same program, presented on March 4 at the Grand Théâtre de Québec. On the eve of rehearsals, Benoit Pinette graciously agreed to the following interview, conducted by Alain Brunet.
