Description

To inaugurate his first season as principal conductor and artistic director of the Orchestre de chambre I Musici de Montréal, Jean-Marie Zeitouni invites the public to the opening concert of its 2012-2013 Downtown Series, Miroirs de l’enfance (Mirrors of Childhood). To mark the occasion, the maestro has invited soprano Hélène Guilmette to showcase her exceptionally pure and brilliant voice.  For $36 you obtain a ticket for the September 28th concert of Mirrors of Childhood performed by the Orchestre de Chambre I Musici de Montréal ($72 value).  To highlight this celebration of childhood, Jean-Marie Zeitouni has put together a program of works by Ravel, Mahler and Barber: Ravel recreates the magical atmosphere of the Contes de Ma Mère l’Oye, while Mahler and Barber give the children a voice. With poetry in his heart, Barber’s child describes the atmosphere on a summer’s eve outside his home in Knoxville, while the child in Symphony no. 4 by Mahler casts an innocent look at everyday life in paradise.  Founded in 1983, the Orchestre de chamber I Musici de Montréal brings together 15 musicians whose repertoire varies from baroque to contemporary music. Jean-Marie Zeitouni, recognized for is expressive and convincing style, is its Principal Conductor and Artistic Director.
