This event pays tribute to two exceptional figures of contemporary music who are dearly missed: the composer Iannis Xenakis (1922–2001), whose centennial is being celebrated by the music community this year, and the unforgettable Luis de Pablo (1930 – 2021), loyal friend and collaborator of the NEM who passed away last October.

RÉSONANCE CROISÉE | L'ARSENALE / NEM (IT/QC)

Thursday
14
April 2022
7:30 pm
A co-production of Le Vivier and the NEM, in partnership with CIDIM, the Italian Cultural Institute of Montreal and the magazine La Scena Musicale.

Lorraine Vaillancourt

Conductor

Filippo Perocco

Works by
Jesse Diener-Bennett
Stefano Pierini
Silvia Borzelli
Stefano Trevisi
Milica Djordjević
Alessandro Solbiati
Keiko Devaux

First and foremost, Résonance croisée is a new collaboration between European and Quebec artists chosen for their unique and avant-garde approaches to music creation. Audiences can expect to experience a week of concerts. This music needs to be “seen” for the sound to be fully appreciated; the body becomes the instrument and technology, the common thread. Several concerts will be immersive experiences, linking digital art and movement. (Traduction)
– Jeffrey Stonehouse, Artistic Director of Le Vivier
