Joy and felicity set the tone for a musical voyage. We'll be playing composers like Fux, Schein, Tansman and Shannon, followed by some Irish airs.
Recorder and traverso (flute) player Francis Colpron is recognized as one of the most talented musicians of his generation. In 1991, he founded the ensemble Les Boréades de Montréal and is still the Artistic Director. Touring extensively in Quebec and abroad, Francis and the ensemble explore the theatrical and musical worlds of the 17th and 18th centuries, bringing ancient practice to light while playing period instruments. A generous and enthusiastic teacher, Francis regularly leads TEMPO workshops and teaches at summer music camps such as Amherst in the U.S., CAMMAC in Québec and Boxwood in Nova Scotia.
