Horloge, tais-toi! — Hommage à Kaija Saariaho

Renowned Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho has inspired many composers. She is best known for her successful operas such as “L'amour de loin”, with libretto by Amin Maalouf. Produced by the Société de musique contemporaine du Québec (SMCQ), this first concert of its 59th season includes two emblematic works by Saariaho, “Horloge, tais-toi!” and “Lichtbogen”, as well as works by composer Keiko Devaux and Hans Martin from Québec. The excellent musicians of the Ensemble de la SMCQ, conducted by Cristian Gort, team up with the Petits Chanteurs du Mont-Royal (conducted by Andrew Gray) to offer a rich and colorful musical experience.
