Delicious morsels for Baroque music

With their considerable artistic sensitivity and experience, the musicians of Les Boréades strive above all to communicate the special spirit of each work. At this gala concert we will have the pleasure of serving up the most beautiful Baroque music perfectly harmonized with delicious food.

Delicious morsels from the Boulangerie Première Moisson presented with specially selected pieces of music… what better combination of delights? With all the beauty of sound, rhetorical clarity, energy, and virtuosity for which we are known, we shall play for you the best musique de table from the 17th and 18th centuries.

Francis Colpron
Founder and Artistic Director
Les Boréades de Montréal

It gives me great pleasure to be part of Les Boréades’ 2009 gala. I invite you to come in large numbers to enjoy what promises to be a memorable benefit evening.

Sophie Faucher
Actress and mistress of ceremonies

As Jean Chevalier wrote, “a banquet generally symbolizes collective participation in a group, a project, or a celebration.” Organized in collaboration with the Première Moisson bakery, this benefit gala will consist of a feast enlivened by the performance of beautiful music associated with the pleasures of the table.
