RÊVANCE SANS PAROLES

ABOUT

The musical worlds of Jorane and Oktopus converge for a concert of both intimate and intense soundscapes, at once playful and delightfully unrestrained. The Quebec singer, known for her enchanting musical universe, joins forces with an octet devoted to the music of Eastern Europe, each exploring instrumental expression in their own distinctive way. When their artistic paths intersect, the result is a surprising and compelling program, weaving Jorane’s creations with works by Liszt, Prokofiev, and Kodály, all wrapped in the sonorities of Eastern Europe that define Oktopus’ sound.
