Co-produced with Quatuor Bozzini and co-presented with Québec Musiques Parallèles and Le Vivier.
As part of Québec musiques parallèles in collaboration with Flux Festival, Quatuor Bozzini devotes a special evening to the work of American composer, musicologist, and trombonist George Lewis, a major figure in contemporary music. Renowned for his groundbreaking work at the intersection of composition, improvisation, and interactive technology, Lewis explores the many ways in which music can reflect social, cultural, and human realities. A leading interpreter of contemporary repertoire, the Quatuor Bozzini presents a portrait through string quartets composed between 2016 and 2022. This is a rare opportunity to discover George Lewis’s rich, inventive, and deeply engaged musical language, brought to life by one of the most influential ensembles on Montreal’s contemporary music scene.
Programme:
String Quartet 2.5 (“Playing with Seeds”) (2017)
String Quartet 4.5 (“Partial Truth”) (2022)
Inspired by a passage from Véronique Côté’s La vie habitable, Ce qui frémit is an invitation to slow down and listen closely to what resonates within us. Through harmonies and melodies of striking familiarity, enriched by the use of just intonation, Patrick Giguère explores a mode of listening that is at once intimate, sensitive, and luminous. Performed by Marie-Loup Cottinet on viola da gamba and Daniel Áñez on synthesizers, this work invites us to reconnect with a fragile yet essential part of ourselves.
