Additional Information
Founded by choral conductor and clarinetist Xavier Brossard-Ménard, vocal ensemble Les Rugissants has been a fixture on the Montreal musical scene for seven years, offering audiences performances rich in content and musical discovery. With a program ranging from classical to folk and popular music, the ensemble also stands out for its committed, multidisciplinary approach.
As part of Virée classique, Les Rugissants present their Voces de España concert at Esplanade Tranquille, featuring Spanish music, with Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco’s Romancero Gitano and Einojuhani Rautavaara’s Suite Lorca as the main works, joined by pieces by Manuel Oltra, accompanied on guitar by Marc-Étienne Leclerc and flamenco dancer Marie-Andrée Cloutier.
Alexandre Villemaire spoke to Xavier Brossard-Ménard about the program and its conception.
