Newswire | Trio Fibonacci: “Russia light and darkness”

By Newswire on 19 September 2023 Classical Music, Montreal

Montreal, 19 September 2023 — For their opening concert of the season on October 3rd at Bourgie Hall, the Trio Fibonacci proposes three Russian trios that go straight to the heart!

Arensky’s trio draws us into its dramatic atmosphere and its lyricism which dances between melancholy and sweetness. Rachmaninoff, the last great Romantic whose 150th birthday we celebrate this year, then offers us music on the scale of his nation, where Eastern sounds meet those of the Orthodox…

Jacques Lacombe and Orchestre classique de Montréal: Full Circle

By Justin Bernard on 1 September 2023 Classical Music, Montreal, Orchestral

Even before…
