Big Bang #2 – Sommet de la création
This is the 2nd edition of the Big Bang – Summit for Creation. An electrifying evening with lights and projections, l’Orchestre de l’Agora promises an unforgettable night. On the occasion of its 10th anniversary, this concert will showcase its musicians as soloists! You will have the chance to hear David Brongo in a percussion concerto by Nicolas Gilbert, Noémie Caron-Marcotte in a piccolo concerto by composer Maggie Ayotte, and Victor Alibert in a klezmer clarinet concerto by Wlad Marhulets.
Also on the program is the magnificent vocal cycle Le Récital des Anges by composer Ian Cusson. Originally written for piano and voice, Ian has revisited his work to adapt it specifically for l’Orchestre de l’Agora. Soprano Elisabeth St-Gelais will sing these beautiful songs based on poems by Émile Nelligan.
