A reflection on personal geography and memory

Sound, music, images, geography: all these concepts influence our memory. Think of a place from your childhood. What do you hear, what do you see? How can you describe this feeling of remembering the past? In a sense, the places we have made our homes and have now left are lost to us; we may be able to physically return, but our memories preserve it in a different way. Stories of islands which disappear after a first discovery or even after being inhabited for a time permeate Canadian folklore, from the Thousand Islands in the St. Lawrence to more isolated islands in the Great Lakes and beyond. The prevalence of these stories suggests a deep collective sorrow for remembered times and places which, once gone, are gone forever.

The Cygnus Trio, in collaboration with composers with deep geographical ties, offers a program of music and poetry reflecting on this loss and the relationship between memory and location. The program features works by four Canadian composers, folk tunes and poetry. Anita Perry and Selwyn Redivo offer musical meditations upon the landscape of the Okanagan Valley, past home of brothers Ben (flute) and Jonathan (guitar), and the trio will premiere Ontario native Arie Van de ven’s Algoma Miniatures. The musical components of the program are tied together with poetry by W. B. Yeats, and Nancy Holmes, tying a deep sense of place to the remembrance of the past.

Les Méandres vous présentent le dernier concert de la saison 2017 / 2018.

Lorsque François Ravaillac assassine Henri IV en 1610, c'est un des derniers chevaliers de France qui s'éteint. Le pays est alors profondément déchiré par les puissantes familles du royaume qui se font la guerre, ainsi que par les affrontements entre Huguenots et Catholiques qui persistent. La poésie du XVI et de la première moitié du XVIIe porte en elle les blessures de cette violence. On se méfie de la cour et de ses intrigues, on cherche l'apaisement dans les bois et l'amour est source de tourments. Les restes de la Renaissance sombrent dans l'oubli pour laisser place à l'État et à la réforme de Richelieu.

Joignez-vous à nous pour un concert mettant en vedette un consort brisé de flûtes et de violes qui interprétera des airs de cour. Le programme présentera, entre autres, des œuvres de Charles Tessier, Pierre Guédron et Girard de Beaulieu, dans des arrangements inédits préparés avec soin pour l'évènement.

Le concert aura lieu à la Chapelle Notre Dame de Bon Secours le 10 mars 2018 à 19h au coût de 20$ / 10$ sur présentation d’une carte étudiante. Les billets seront disponibles à la porte le soir du concert.

Élodie Bouchard - Soprano Simon-Charles Tremblay Béchard - Ténor Jérémie de Pierre - Flûtes à bec Élyse Lamanque Girard - Flûtes à bec Tristan Best - Viole de Gambe Ryan Gallagher - Viole de Gambe Jonathan Stuchbery - Archiluth & Guitare baroque Justin Luchinski - Orgue
