  • Dossier Ensemble Paramirabo
    Mot du directeur artistique Le mandat artistique de l’organisme Ensemble Paramirabo est de se présenter comme une voix pour la diffusion de la musique d’aujourd’hui et pour la promotion des compositeurs émergents. Ses membres travaillent de façon à faciliter l’accessibilité et la compréhension de la musique contemporaine auprès de tous les publics et de tous les milieux et se consacrent à la redynamisation du concert grâce à une programmation inédite. L’organisme ne se limite pas à un répertoire strict. Il touche autant à des œuvres de répertoire qu’à la musique actuelle qu’elle soit écrite, improvisée ou électroacoustique. Il fait appel à des musiciens et des artistes de la relève montréalaise afin de concrétiser ses projets et de combler les postes dus aux exigences instrumentales des œuvres présentées. La programmation reflète ce désir d’élargir les horizons et les expériences des auditeurs de nos concerts en favorisant la nouveauté, l’expérimentation et le risque. Nous avons un penchant pour les programmes qui tournent autour d’un thème ou qui offrent plusieurs points de vue divergents sur un même concept. Nous aimons également présenter des projets en collaborations avec des artistes issus d’autres domaines d’art qui amènent de nouvelles explorations et découvertes, citons en exemple les programmes cabarets ou théâtrales tel que nos productions THE CRAZIES! ou À chaque ventre son monstre (gagnant du Prix Opus - Création de l’année 2018). Dans les dernières années, nous avons fait un effort majeur pour créer des projets artistiques qui agissent comme un pont culturel avec des milieux différents.

  • EXAUDI Lonesingness
    lonesingness Exaudi Lucy Goddard and David de Winter (voice) James Weeks (piano) Friday 23rd October 2020 4-5pm Programme John Cage Ear for EAR Lucy, David James Weeks even here i James Zesses Seglias lonesingness David Barbara Monk Feldman The Gentlest Chord Lucy James Weeks even here iiJames Lisa Robertson Almost Lucy, David Michael Pisaro A Bird in the Beast Lucy, David, James James Weeks even here iii James Linda Catlin Smith In Black ink Lucy, James Rodney Lister Devotion Lucy, David, James Programme notes The pieces are performed consecutively without breaks. Lonesingness What is a voice, if not the means to draw us towards each other; to reach across the distance between us and create connection; to enfold us (as the writer Brandon La Belle says) ‘in its sonorities, its rhythms and silences, and intonations’, and bring us closer together? In this time of distances – social, physical, emotional – our programme ‘Lonesingness’ seeks to measure and map those distances, and tentatively to bridge them. John Cage’s austere, antiphonal Ear for EAR (1983) seems to represent a calling-out across some vast space. Solo works by Greek composer Zesses Seglias and Canadian Barbara Monk Feldman articulate in different ways a condition of solitude, as do the short interleaved piano pieces by James Weeks, drawing on material from his recent extended work for violin and piano still here. Lisa Robertson’s brand new work Almost, written for this programme, brings the voices together in pondering the theme of closeness and distance: "This is almost too much. This is almost all over.
