Gabriel Genest – Lancement d’album à la Sala Rossa

by Rédaction PAN M 360

Originaire du Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean, Gabriel Genest est un saxophoniste, clarinettiste, flûtiste, compositeur et arrangeur établi à Montréal depuis 2013.

Bachelier en interprétation jazz (saxophone) à l’Université de Montréal , Il complète en 2020 une maitrise en Jazz Performance à l’Université McGill auprès de Frank Lozano, Rémi Bolduc et Jean-Michel Pilc. Durant son parcours, il a aussi eu l’occasion d’étudier la composition et l’arrangement avec Jean-Nicolas Trottier, Joe Sullivan, John Hollenbeck ainsi que John Roney.

Récipiendaire du prix François Marcaurelle de l’OFF Festival de Jazz de Montréal et finaliste au FestiJazz de Rimousiki en 2019, Il présente son premier album Triptyque le 3 octobre 2021 avec le Gabriel Genest Quintet.Comme son nom l’indique, Triptyque tire son inspiration d’une réflexion sur les liens qui unissent la musique et les arts visuels. Les pièces de l’album explorent les thèmes des fractales, du triptyque, de l’abstraction, de l’espace, de la fluidité et de la perspective, cherchant donc à transposer en musique ces idées venues des arts visuels.

L’ensemble présente un jazz contemporain influencé par le jazz moderne et la musique classique. Le répertoire de l’album est le résultat d’une exploration de formes musicales longues et d’arrangements élaborés pour quintet visant à mettre en valeur les qualités des improvisateurs qui composent le groupe. De plus, sur l’album, trois pièces avec quatuor à cordes (Quatuor Saguenay) ont permis d’étendre la palette de couleurs et d’arrangements disponibles pour l’ensemble.

En plus d’écrire pour ses propres projets, ses compositions et arrangements sont joués et enregistrés par Le Big Band et l’ensemble de chambre jazz de l’Université de Montréal sous la direction de Ron di Lauro ainsi que le Chamber Jazz Ensemble de l’Université McGill sous la direction de Jean-Nicolas Trottier. De plus, en 2015, il collabore à la tournée Forever Gentlemen de Garou, Roch Voisine et Corneille comme l’un des principaux arrangeurs pour ce projet.

Originally from Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean, Gabriel Genest is a saxophonist, clarinetist, flutist, composer and arranger based in Montreal since 2013.

He holds a bachelor’s degree in jazz performance (saxophone) from Université de Montréal, and in 2020 completed a master’s degree in jazz performance at McGill University with Frank Lozano, Rémi Bolduc and Jean-Michel Pilc. He has also studied composition and arranging with Jean-Nicolas Trottier, Joe Sullivan, John Hollenbeck and John Roney.

Recipient of the Prix François Marcaurelle from the OFF Festival de Jazz de Montréal and finalist at the FestiJazz de Rimousiki in 2019, he presents his debut album Triptyque on October 3, 2021 with the Gabriel Genest Quintet.As its name suggests, Triptyque draws its inspiration from a reflection on the links between music and the visual arts. The pieces on the album explore the themes of fractals, triptychs, abstraction, space, fluidity and perspective, seeking to transpose these ideas from the visual arts into music.

The ensemble presents contemporary jazz influenced by modern jazz and classical music. The album’s repertoire is the result of an exploration of long musical forms and elaborate quintet arrangements designed to showcase the qualities of the improvisers who make up the group. The album also includes three pieces for string quartet (Quatuor Saguenay), expanding the palette of colors and arrangements available to the ensemble.

In addition to writing for his own projects, his compositions and arrangements have been performed and recorded by Le Big Band and l’ensemble de chambre jazz de l’Université de Montréal under the direction of Ron di Lauro, and McGill University’s Chamber Jazz Ensemble under the direction of Jean-Nicolas Trottier. What’s more, in 2015, he collaborated on the Forever Gentlemen tour with Garou, Roch Voisine and Corneille as one of the main arrangers for this project.

Gala de la Terre : Symphonie alpestre à la Maison symphonique

by Rédaction PAN M 360

L’Orchestre de l’Agora présentera le Gala de la Terre le 12 juin prochain à 20h à la Maison symphonique autour de la Symphonie alpestre de Strauss, sous la direction du chef Nicolas Ellis. La dernière édition ayant été récompensée par le Prix Opus de l’événement musical de l’année, l’Orchestre de l’Agora promet ainsi une nouvelle soirée musicale unique visant à sensibiliser les publics aux enjeux environnementaux, en soutenant les efforts d’organismes locaux dédiés à la protection de notre planète : le GREMM, WWF Canada et Sierra Club Canada.

La soirée débutera avec une création de la compositrice Claudie Bertounesque qui fusionnera l’orchestre, 75 choristes des Petits Chanteurs du Mont-Royal, électro-acoustique ainsi que des chants de bélugas recueillis près de Tadoussac grâce aux hydrophones du Groupe de recherche et d’éducation sur les mammifères marins (GREMM). La poète innue et ambassadrice de l’événement Natasha Kanapé Fontaine récitera également ses propres poèmes spécialement écrits pour le Gala de la Terre. L’Orchestre accueillera la soprano innue Elisabeth St-Gelais, récemment nommée Révélation Classique Radio-Canada et lauréate du prestigieux Prix d’Europe 2023, dans les magnifiques Wesendonck Lieder de Wagner. Plus de 100 musiciens seront sur scène pour la Symphonie alpestre de Strauss, une œuvre emblématique qui évoque la beauté de la nature et des Alpes tout en abordant des thèmes universels liés au cycle de la vie ainsi qu’à la beauté et à la fragilité de notre planète.

Lors de la dernière édition 2022 du Gala de la Terre bâtie autour de la 3e symphonie de Mahler, l’Orchestre avait rassemblé 200 musiciens et choristes sur scène, et 255 000 $ avaient été remis aux trois organismes bénéficiaires : UNICEF Canada, Conservation de la nature Canada et Sierra Club Canada, notamment grâce à l’appui de partenaires et donateurs qui sont de retour cette année encore, dont Canimex et Age of Union.

The Orchestre de l’Agora will present the Gala de la Terre on June 12 at 8pm at the Maison symphonique, featuring Strauss’s Alpine Symphony under the direction of conductor Nicolas Ellis. With last year’s edition winning the Opus Prize for Musical Event of the Year, the Orchestre de l’Agora promises another unique musical evening to raise public awareness of environmental issues, by supporting the efforts of local organizations dedicated to protecting our planet: GREMM, WWF Canada and Sierra Club Canada.

The evening will open with a creation by composer Claudie Bertounesque, fusing the orchestra, 75 choristers from the Petits Chanteurs du Mont-Royal, electro-acoustic music and beluga songs collected near Tadoussac using hydrophones from the Group for Research and Education on Marine Mammals (GREMM). Innu poet and event ambassador Natasha Kanapé Fontaine will also recite her own poems, specially written for the Gala de la Terre. The Orchestra will welcome Innu soprano Elisabeth St-Gelais, recently named Révélation Classique Radio-Canada and winner of the prestigious Prix d’Europe 2023, in Wagner’s magnificent Wesendonck Lieder. Over 100 musicians will be on stage for Strauss’s Alpine Symphony, an emblematic work that evokes the beauty of nature and the Alps, while touching on universal themes linked to the cycle of life and the beauty and fragility of our planet.

At the last Earth Gala 2022, built around Mahler’s 3rd Symphony, the Orchestra brought together 200 musicians and choristers on stage, and $255,000 was donated to the three beneficiary organizations: UNICEF Canada, Nature Conservancy of Canada and Sierra Club Canada, thanks in particular to the support of partners and donors who are back again this year, including Canimex and Age of Union.

CMIM – Piano 2024 | Finalists announced

by Alexandre Villemaire

And now it’s done. After three intense days, the ten MIMC semi-finalists have completed their program presentations to the audience at Salle Bourgie and to the members of the international jury. The four pianists who performed on Sunday were: Jaeden Izik-Dzurko (Canada), Arisa Onoda (Japan), Jakub Kuszlik (Poland) and Antonio Chen Guang (China).

This final day of semi-finals was once again marked by a high level of playing, making it difficult for the judges to decide who will advance to the final stage of the competition, and which of the ten will be awarded one of the three special prizes for Best Sonata Performance, Best Canadian Compulsory Performance and Best Chamber Music Performance;In this Sunday Final Four, the competitors offered contrasting performances, most of which had a significant program construction. Jaeden Izik-Dzurko stood out with a dramatic Sonata n^o1 E minor by Rachmaninov and Arisa Onoda with a sensitive interpretation of Sonata n^o 3 by Chopin.

In the second half of the afternoon, programs and performances by Jakub Kuszlik and Antonio Chen Guang were exhilarating and marked by moments of great emotional intensity. Kuszlik, already a recipient of the Prix de la relève, delivered a program that gave way to great interiority and profound lyricism, with Brahms’s Sonata n^o 3 in F minor as its centerpiece.

Antonio Chen Guang, for his part, offered a veritable epic of style with a program of thoughtful musical narrative, moving from the world of nature with Reflets sur l’eau by Debussy and Barbara Assiginaak to the inner world yearning for contemplation with Beethoven’s Sonata in A-flat major and Busoni’s arrangement of the chorale Ich ruf’ zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ by J.S Bach to finish deep down in the Earth an infernal dance, Liszt’s first Mephisto-Valse . Both received thunderous applause and standing ovations from the audience.

But, as in all competitions, the choice rests with the jury, and the intensity of the applause meter is not always a decisive factor. Speaking through its president, Zarin Mehta, the names of those advancing to the final round were announced around 6:30pm. They are Elias Ackerley (UK; South Korea), Jaeden Izik-Dzurko (Canada), Jakub Kuszlik (Poland), Anthony Ratinov (USA), Gabriele Strata (Italy) and Derek Wang (USA).

Gabriele Stata is the winner of the Prix Musique de chambre, a $2,500 prize donated by Dixi Lambert. The prize also includes participation in a concert at the Montreal Chamber Music Festival, valued at $3,500. Canada’s Jaeden Izik-Dzurko completes a double, winning the $3,000 prize for the best interpretation of a sonata in the semi-finals, offered in partnership with Ann Stevens, as well as the $2,500 André Bachand Prize for the best interpretation of the imposed Canadian work, offered in partnership with Claudette Hould;

The next date is May 15 and 16 at the Maison symphonique, where the finalists will present a complete concerto accompanied by the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal, in an evening that promises to be under the auspices of Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev, Brahms and Rachmaninov.

A Boiler Room in Montreal, on May 11, 2024

by Salima Bouaraour

From Nairobi to Ramallah by way of Dubai, Tel Aviv, Hong Kong, Berlin, New York, Bogota or Marrakech, Boiler Room is now a more than sacred anthology for devotees of the night realm on every continent! And here’s the Montreal stopover!

From London’s underground huis clos to an international marketing concept, or how to glorify celebrity culture: BR radiates wide! This London-based project, founded in 2010 by Blaise Bellville, began with the idea of filming live DJ and producer performances in a confined area of a dilapidated warehouse, and has since become a world-renowned marketing concept with a relentless following.

An online TV channel, it attracts millions of views, pays artists fairly, promotes diversity at every level and offers a broader vision of music than just electronica (jazz, hip hop, soul…). Today, even traditional music is included, such as the folk songs sung by Khadija Warzazia and her all-female bendir orchestra during a BR in Morocco;An online TV channel, it attracts millions of views, pays artists fairly, promotes diversity at every level and offers a broader vision of music than just electronica (jazz, hip hop, soul…). Today, even traditional music is included, such as the folk songs sung by Khadija Warzazia and her all-female bendir orchestra during a BR in Morocco.

Montreal hosted its first BR 11 years ago. Local artists such as the mythical Kaytranada, the versatile Ouri, the eclectic San Farafina and the genius Pierre Kwenders have graced the backstage of this net TV show.On Saturday, May 11, the Laylit collective -honoring the Swana scene and its diaspora-, for the second consecutive time (New York, 2023), organized the evening to offer a rich artistic line-up of Swana, electronic and Arabic-language folk music, featuring artists from North Africa: Manalou (Algeria) and Chloé Lallouz (Morocco). Founders Nadim Maghzal and Philippe Manasseh, Wake Island’s hybrid DJs, helped electrify the crowd.

The Quai du Vieux Port was abuzz with excitement on two levels for 6 hours, as 2,000 to 3,000 young people sought out night-time thrills. The line-up was vast: Korea Town Acid, Chaos in the CBD, Kettama, Martyn BootySpoon and many more! (Full list here: https://boilerroom.tv/session/montreal-24 ) In the meantime, while you’re waiting to watch this Boiler Room on the net (available in a few weeks on https://www.youtube.com/@boilerroom ), PANM360 invites you to enjoy the one made in New York, in 2023, by the Laylit team!

Festival Classica: Piazzolla de New York à Paris

by Rédaction PAN M 360

L’imaginaire collectif s’envole vers Buenos Aires à l’écoute du nom de Piazzolla. Mais ce musicien révolutionnaire et controversé nous offre mille surprises, depuis son enfance à New York entouré de jazz au retour à en Argentine, où il se démarque en tant qu’interprète chevronné. Son départ vers la France, pour s’éloigner de son tango, mène à un surprenant revirement de situation, lorsque la grande Nadia Boulanger lui indique que sa voix est dans un tango nouveau, à l’écoute de ces influences. Et ce sont tous ces éléments qui nous mènent au génie d’un des musiciens les plus connus de l’histoire.

Piano, violoncelle et marimba/vibraphone; une combinaison instrumentale surprenante mais parfaite pour explorer ce répertoire tiré de la période française de Piazzolla et contrasté avec des standards jazz qui l’ont influencé, entre nostalgie, phrasé langoureux et rythme explosif.

When we hear the name Piazzolla, our collective imagination conjures up images of Buenos Aires. But this revolutionary and controversial musician offers us a thousand surprises, from his childhood in New York surrounded by jazz to his return to Argentina, where he made his mark as a seasoned performer. His departure for France, to get away from his tango, leads to a surprising turn of events, when the great Nadia Boulanger tells him that his voice is in a new tango, listening to these influences. And it’s all these elements that lead us to the genius of one of history’s best-known musicians.

Piano, cello and marimba/vibraphone; a surprising but perfect instrumental combination for exploring this repertoire drawn from Piazzolla’s French period and contrasted with the jazz standards that influenced him, between nostalgia, languorous phrasing and explosive rhythm.
