Montreal Season 2008-2009 | Montreal Recorder Festival

 

 

Dear Music Lovers,

It is with great pleasure that we invite you to the 7th edition of
the Montreal Recorder Festival.

Year after year the Montreal Recorder Festival explores the riches of our chosen instrument and unfolds to you its apabilities of often unimagined diversity. This time we will again present concerts of various musical styles, workshops of all kinds, a lecture, and a masterclass. There will be something for everyone and we hope you will actively participate in great numbers in this tour of musical horizons.

We will be pleased to welcome you among us at the 2008 Montreal Recorder Festival,

Matthias Maute and Sophie Larivière
