Works by Jean Lesage:
Le projet Amadeus
Ivresses songes sourdes nuits
Quatuor à cordes IV
Soliloques aux figures éphémères

Véronique Lacroix, artistic and musical direction
ECM+, 12 musicians
Victor Fournelle-Blain, violin
Pierre Vachon, host

The ensemble presents a timeless pictorial stroll through the whimsical world of composer Jean Lesage. Véronique Lacroix leads 12 ECM+ musicians and virtuoso violinist Victor Fournelle-Blain against a backdrop of video projections of about forty masterpieces culled from the modern, surrealist and cubist genres. An immersive experience in which Lesage’s music enters into a dialogue with the paintings of great 20th-century masters. A rich sound and visual journey, commented by musicologist Pierre Vachon.

“This show’s visuals are a pure delight for the eyes. The privilege of hearing contemporary works. Beautiful in its entirety.”
- Thérèse Morin, audience member
