«Après avoir composé et joué avec différents artistes et ensembles au Canada au cours des quatorze dernières années, j’ai voulu créer mon propre projet, qui mêlerait deux influences musicales : la musique turque et la musique classique occidentale.
Le dialogue que j’ai créé entre le kanun et les instruments classiques occidentaux tels que la flûte, le violon, le violoncelle et les percussions est enrichi par les makams (modes) turcs, ainsi que par les cycles rythmiques traditionnels et l’improvisation, afin de créer une atmosphère impressionniste distincte.» – Didem Bașar
L’album Levantine Rhapsody de Didem Bașar a gagné le prix Opus du meilleur album de l’année (2019-2020) dans la catégorie musique du monde.

Event Details
Inimitable percussive dancer Nic Gareiss makes a rare trip to Montreal to perform a duo concert with fiddler Alexis Chartrand. Melding unparalleled virtuosity with an introspective sensibility, the two artists trace, with disarming spontaneity, their path across French Canadian, Appalachian and Irish traditions. Propelled by melodies inherited from Québécois folklore, Gareiss and Chartrand explore, with palpable pleasure, the sharing of sounds and gestures, blurring the lines between music and dance, melody and movement. This concert is a privileged opportunity to witness the contemporaneity of our traditions, the singular creativity of Nic Gareiss’ stepdancing, and Alexis Chartrand’s unique playing on the baroque violin.

Event Details
The Renaissance was an important period for the development of dance in the West, as it saw the appearance of the very first dance treatises. This series of workshops will focus on the dances of the Italian courts of the Quattrocento and Cinquecento (bassa danza, balletto, etc.). We’ll also dance the ballroom repertoire in use in France at the end of the 16th century, according to Thoinot Arbeau’s indispensable Orchésographie (branle, pavane, gaillarde, etc.).
These four workshops, each lasting 2 hours, are open to all. Musicians who play this repertoire (Praetorius, Attaingnant, Gervaise, Phalèse, etc.) and want to learn more about its dances are also welcome.
Each workshop will cover different dances, so they can be taken independently.

The Masmoudi Quartette is made up of pianist Guillaume Martineau, double bassist Rémi-Jean LeBlanc, clarinetist Gabriel Paquin-Buki and oudist Mohamed Masmoudi, who is its artistic director. Recognized for their versatility, sensitivity and virtuosity, the four musicians present Eternal Cities, their first album in which the long and rich tradition of oriental music permeates each of Masmoudi’s compositions with its modes (maqamat) and metrics. Crossed with improvisations which sometimes borrow from the language of jazz, sometimes from classical subtleties, sprinkled with klezmer inflections and tango rhythms, Masmoudi’s works bear witness to the richness of a life begun in Tunisia and continued an ocean further, with a host of influences raked together along the way, in a process of real openness and experience.
