Alexander Weimann music director

Les Voix Baroques:

Hélène Brunet soprano | Laura Pudwell alto | Joel Estrada Gonzalez & Sumner Thompson tenors | Nathaniel Watson baritone | Harry van der Kamp bass
with
Chloe Meyers & Chantal Rémillard violins | Natalie Mackie violone | Sylvain Bergeron lute | Alexander Weimann organ & harpsichord

and

La Rose des Vents:

Kiri Tollaksen & Matthew Jennejohn cornettos | Catherine Motuz, Trevor Dix & Peter Christensen trombones

 

This summer, Les Voix Baroques performs Giovanni Gabrieli's sonorous compositions for separated choirs, strings, and brass, which greatly influenced the development of western classical music. Now Montréal’s Les Voix Baroques and La Rose des Vents have created a compelling homage to the composer: a Marian Vespers rooted in the polychoral traditions of Venice.

Join us as we commemorate the 400th anniversary of Gabrieli's death, and celebrate his life and work in the best possible way: with a remarkable concert by stunning singers and ten leading early music instrumentalists.
