This concert will feature a Dutch flutist who is highly visible in the international baroque music scene. Marten Root, artistic director of the Schönbrunn Ensemble and first flute of the Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique of John Eliot Gardiner, will join Les Boréades in a program of sonatas, duets and trios for two flutes, selected from the vast repertoire of the late baroque and early classical periods. By this time, the transverse flute had definitively replaced the recorder. The flute's expressive possibilities made it, especially in Germany, the perfect vehicle for the new sensitivity being communicated through music. Ce concert sera également donné le vendredi 25 février 2005 à 20h à la Chapelle Historique du Bon-Pasteur (514-872-5338) et le dimanche 27 février 2005 à 15h au Stewart Hall de Pointe-Claire (514-630-1220). |
