SUMMARY:Les Boréades de Montreal
DESCRIPTION:Music at MERA and the MERA Recorder Consort are thrilled to host a special performance of Early Music on November 15 by Francis Colpron\, Marie-Laurence Primeau and Tristan Best\, members Les Boréades de Montréal. The trio will perform Renaissance and Baroque music on period instruments including recorder\, traverso flute and viola da gamba. The programme will include a selection of pieces composed between the 15th and 18th centuries\, as well as a set of traditional Irish and Acadian tunes. \nNamed after the winged sons of Boreas\, Greek god of the North Wind\, Les Boréades was founded in 1991 by master recorder and traverso player Francis Colpron. Under Colpron’s artistic direction\, this baroque ensemble puts on a very successful annual concert series in Montreal\, performs in North America and Europe\, and records on the ATMA Classique label. \nIn addition to his work with Les Boréades\, Francis Colpron was associate flutist with Trinity Consort of Portland from 2000 to 2009. He has been a guest soloist with groups such as Apollo’s Fire of Cleveland\, the Edmonton Symphony\, the National Arts Centre Orchestra\, Opera Atelier\, Thirteen Strings\, the Studio de musique ancienne de Montréal\, Les Violons du Roy\, the Nova Scotia Orchestra\, and L’Harmonie des Saisons. His discography consists of more than 40 recordings. \nJoining Francis will be Marie-Laurence Primeau and Tristan Best. Marie-Laurence Primeau is a versatile artist\, equally at ease on recorder and viola da gamba which has led her to work with several well-established ensembles. Tristan Best’s musical career began with jazz guitar before moving to study viola da gamba at McGill University. Tristan now regularly performs across Canada with early music and contemporary groups on viola da gamba. \nThe MERA Recorder Consort is looking forward to participating in a recorder workshop by led by Francis Colpron before the afternoon performance on November 15.T \nFor more information Click Here \nTickets available at Tickets Please HERE \nThanks to the generous support of the Ontario Arts Council we are able to offer a $20 discount to those 30 years and under\, and if they wish\, an additional $20 discount for their “guest” of any age. \nRegular – 31 years & older: $35 plus fees\nDiscount Single – 30 years & under: $15 plus fees\nDiscount Pair – 30 years & under with guest of any age (2 tickets): $30 plus fees \nFunding support provided by the Ontario Arts Council and the Government of Ontario
