Formerly known as the Alcan String Quartet for reasons we can only guess, the Saguenay Quartet has recorded the complete Beethoven String Quartets, a must for any self-respecting music lover. For this Montreal stopover at the august Église de la Visitation, this experienced ensemble, one of the best string quartets in the country, performs Quartet No. 1, Op. 18, as well as Quartet No. 7, Op. 59 No. 1 in F major. This is another event commemorating the 250th anniversary of the birth of the famous composer.
The Montreal-based Forestare Guitar Ensemble – 12 classical guitarists and a double bass player – invites you to a modern reinterpretation of pieces from the baroque repertoire, by Vivaldi, Lully and Johann Sebastian Bach. During this concert, not only will the ensemble recount the story of the Baroque period’s composers with humour, but it will also draw a parallel with the history of New France, at the same time. You will even learn what kind of relationship the early settlers had with the First Nations. Music as an excuse to go back to our roots.
