Montreal Season 2008-2009 | Montreal Recorder Festival


1st concert



Instrumental music by A. Piazzolla and A. Vivaldi

Saturday, September 13th 2008
at 8:00 pm

Redpath Hall, McGill University
3461 McTavish Street

The programme will feature tangos by A. Piazzolla
and concertos by A. Vivaldi, both of whose
instrumental colours make a perfect marriage
for wind instruments.

2nd concert



Music by J. Brahms and J.S.Bach
Guest soloist: Monika Mauch (Germany)

Saturday January 17th 2009
at 8:00 pm


Redpath Hall, McGill University
3461 McTavish Street

This programme takes an idea originally conceived
by Brahms himself: melding an 18th century
cantata with his own Requiem. Inspired by that
particular historical event, Caprice aspires to
reenact this experience for its Montreal audience
by presenting the arrangement for choir and piano
four hands by Brahms.

3rd concert



Music by G. Ph. Telemann
and Gypsy music of the 18th century

Saturday, March 21st 2009
at 8:00 pm


Redpath Hall, McGill University
3461 McTavish Street

G. Ph. Telemann worked for a time in Eastern
Europe. According to his own accounts,
he was profoundly impressed by the musical
universe of the Gypsies there. The audacity of the
melodies, the instrumental virtuosity and
passionate expressiveness of this music seduced
this German master.

Ensemble Caprice in collaboration with
the Studio de musique ancienne de Montréal

Sunday, May 3rd 2009
