BEHIND THE CONCERT WITH JEAN-FRANÇOIS RIVEST
— Death and the maiden

Why transcribe a string quartet for an orchestra? In this short video, Jean-François Rivest explains a few reasons.

 

SPOTLIGHT ON OUR NEW WEBCAST
— Stéphane Tétreault and Yuli's legacy, available as a webcast until March 6, 2022

The late Yuli Turovsky was truly the centre of our orchestra for over 25 years. We have called on Stéphane Tétreault, a long-time collaborator and I Musici artist in residence, to honour and celebrate Turovsky—cellist and founder of the orchestra. Following the first half of the program dedicated to Haydn, we will offer you Schubert’s most famous quartet: Death and the Maiden. The dizzyingly fast technical challenges and Romanticism are truly on edge.

 

CHARLES RICHARD-HAMELIN AND CHOSTAKOVITCH
— March 24, 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.

We have now come to I Musici’s core of great repertoire. Though Brahms’s Liebeslieder Waltzes are sweet, Chostakovich’s Third Quartet adapted by our conductor is filled with energy and intensity, which is part of our orchestra’s DNA! Who better to ask than much-loved pianist Charles Richard-Hamelin and the great trumpetist Stéphane Beaulac to perform Shostakovich’s Double Concerto, a work he composed in his twenties?
