Église catholique de Saint-Bruno 1668 De Montarville St.
Accademia de’ Dissonanti presents a program featuring the music of the 18th-century French composer and harpist Jean Baur. This ensemble made the first-ever recording of this fascinating and virtually unknown composer. Filled with joyful and imaginative passages, along with lively, expressive melodies, the music demonstrates a high level of virtuosity, exploring cello techniques that were entirely new for the time. You will also have the pleasure of hearing the pedal harp (a new instrument that exploded in popularity in the mid-18th century), performed here on one of the few original instruments in North America, adding irresistible colour to this concert!
