As part of the Semaine du Neuf organized by Le Vivier, the Nouvel Ensemble Moderne (NEM), under the direction of Lorraine Vaillancourt, pays tribute to Quebec composer Claude Vivier. On this occasion, the NEM and Belgian soprano Myriam Leblanc will perform some of the most beautiful works from the prematurely deceased composer’s repertoire, as well as a piece by Serbian composer Marko Nikodijevic.

Soloists
Jubilant and terrifying, incantatory and explosive, the music of Claude Vivier fascinates and, above all, deeply moves with its depth and originality.

Trois airs pour un opéra imaginaire
This work explores a pulsed spectrum moving towards an irregular rhythm, transforming into counterpoint before returning to minimal orchestration. Vivier's spectral writing concludes with a sudden rupture followed by a pure interval.

Bouchara
Text in invented language
In Bouchara, Claude Vivier immerses us in a sound world that is both strange and captivating. The text, written in an invented language, transcends the limits of words to touch the universal. This deeply introspective work explores themes of love and loss, characteristic of Vivier's unique musical language. Soprano Chelsea Kolic guides the listener on this dreamlike journey, carried by an ensemble vibrant with energy.
