A TRIBUTE TO... ONE YEAR

It’s February 15, 2021. At the Abbaye d’Oka, sound rises and circulates between the tall columns as the instrumentalists play the first movement “The Mask Falls” of Speaking in Tongues (1993) by composer Melissa Hui.

The NEM musicians, conducted by Lorraine Vaillancourt, are playing this movement as a tribute to the past year.

"Dear 2020, [...] You showed me that life can quickly reorganize itself, cities can empty, people can stand and come together, care for each other without knowing each other, sometimes make inhuman sacrifices for the good of the group. In order to be able to hold, touch and embrace each other again one day.
– Julie Sirois-Leclerc
