MONTREAL BAROQUE FESTIVAL
Old Montreal
Montreal Baroque was an initiative
of gambist and cellist Susie Napper
(who received a Prix Opus as Personality of the Year by the Conseil
Québécois de la musique in 2002).
Distinctively, this festival offers a
variety of concerts performed by internationally renowned artists in unusual settings. Montreal Baroque’s
mandate is to produce and broadcast
17th- and 18th-century music performed on period instruments.
Montreal Baroque 2006: “M”
“M” celebrates two dazzling musicians born 350 and 250 years ago
respectively: Marais and Mozart.
Two destinies, two universes, two
styles… But one commitment to
musical perfection! Both left an incomparable stylistic legacy characterized by elegant phrasing, rich
harmonies, and a humour and lightness of spirit that are very attractive to our 21st-century ears. With
over thirty shows including concerts,
recitals, a parade, theatre, commedia
dell’arte, conferences, masterclasses,
a baroque fair, circus acts, and an
opera for children, this year’s edition is sure to be a unique event in
Canada’s cultural landscape!
