À paraître le 2 juillet, notre numéro de juillet-août mettra en vedette le violoniste virtuose Jonathan Crow et parlera notamment de sa participation à la formation du « nouveau » Quatuor Orford. Crow sera également l’artiste du mois dans notre CD Découverte présenté par &lt;i&gt;LSM&lt;/i&gt; et les Disques XXI (offert &lt;i&gt; uniquement&lt;/i&gt; aux abonnés payants). Le numéro comprendra aussi des portraits des gagnants du Concours Musical International de Montréal, du Prix d’Europe et d’autres concours ainsi qu’un aperçu du Concours de musique du Canada, déjà en cours, dans une entrevue avec le chef Jean-François Rivest. En outre, le maestro Kent Nagano nous parle de son été où Brahms occupera la première place. Nous soulignons également la première canadienne de la &lt;i&gt;Messa per Rossini&lt;/i&gt; à Lanaudière; cette œuvre grandiose est un requiem écrit en collaboration par treize des plus éminents compositeurs italiens contemporains de Rossini peu après sa mort. Tout cela et plus encore, y compris les calendriers, des critiques et des lectures d’été.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Le numéro de juillet-août  de &lt;i&gt;La Scena Musicale&lt;/i&gt; sera distribué  le 2 juillet et la date de tombée pour les annonces est le 26 juin  2009.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Si nous regardons vers l’automne,  nous sommes heureux d’annoncer que le tout premier &lt;strong&gt;Répertoire annuel  des arts de &lt;i&gt;La SCENA&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; sera en kiosques le 12 août 2009. Ce répertoire, le premier du genre au Québec, sera sans nul doute une source précieuse d’information pour les artistes professionnels, les étudiants et les amateurs d’art de la province. Les lecteurs y trouveront des listes complètes d’écoles, de conservatoires, de professeurs, de programmes, de concours, de sites Web, de salles, de chœurs et ensembles amateurs et professionnels, de magasins de fournitures, de boutiques pour audiophiles, d’agents, etc., dans les domaines de la musique, de la danse, du théâtre, du cinéma et des arts visuels. Le répertoire comprendra des sections régionales ainsi que nationales, en plus d’une section internationale de ressources payantes. Ce répertoire bilingue paraîtra à temps pour la rentrée scolaire et constituera un guide essentiel pour l’enseignement et la pratique des arts et de la musique.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La rentrée culturelle en musique  et en art occupera la première place dans le numéro d’automne de &lt;i&gt; La SCENA&lt;/i&gt;, qui paraîtra le 3 septembre. En couverture, à notre grande joie, l’homme de théâtre, cinéaste et artiste multimédia de Québec et mondialement connu Robert Lepage. On trouvera également dans ce numéro d’automne le numéro de septembre de &lt;i&gt;La Scena Musicale&lt;/i&gt;,  mettant en vedette le ténor Marc Hervieux. Ce numéro prend peu à  peu la forme d’un numéro spécial sur l’opéra.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;LSM&lt;/i&gt; planifie déjà  deux week-ends d’opéra à l’automne : à Toronto pour les productions  de la Canadian Opera Company de &lt;i&gt;The Nightingale and Other Short Fables&lt;/i&gt; de Stravinski et &lt;i&gt;Madama Butterfly&lt;/i&gt; de Puccini, et à Montréal  pour les productions de l’Opéra de Montréal d’&lt;i&gt;I Pagliacci&lt;/i&gt; de Leoncavallo et de &lt;i&gt;Gianni Schicchi&lt;/i&gt; de Puccini.

Donc, &lt;i&gt;La Scena Musicale&lt;/i&gt; (LSM), &lt;i&gt;The Music Scene  Ontario&lt;/i&gt; et &lt;i&gt;La SCENA&lt;/i&gt; n’ont plus droit à cette source de financement.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;En 2007-08, le Conseil des Arts du Canada a subventionné 106 magazines d’art et littéraires pour un total de 2 661 900 $. &lt;b&gt;D’après nous, il faut traiter tous les périodiques consacrés à l’art et à la littérature de manière juste et équitable, ce qui signifie notamment que leurs demandes de soutien devraient être étudiées par un jury. &lt;/b&gt;C’est pourquoi &lt;i&gt;La Scena Musicale&lt;/i&gt; a décidé de lancer une campagne visant à faire annuler ce changement de politique.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nous vous prions de manifester votre soutien à l’égard de tous les périodiques d’art à diffusion contrôlée (y compris les nôtres) en signant la pétition et en la faisant circuler.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pour en savoir plus, lisez l’article suivant dans notre carnet Web : &lt;a href="http://www.scena.org/blog/2009/02/le-conseil-des-arts-du-canada-ne.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;http://www.scena.org/blog/&lt;wbr&gt;2009/02/le-conseil-des-arts-&lt;wbr&gt;du-canada-ne.html&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pétition en ligne :&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mesopinions.com/Pour-le-retablissement-du-financement-par-le-Conseil-des-Arts-du-Canada-en-faveur-des-periodiques-a-diffusion-controlee-petition-petitions-ea18467636d5794d62b23dffca452210.html" target="_blank"&gt;Pétition en français sur Mesopinions.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/restore-canada-council-funding-to-controlled-circulation-magazines" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.thepetitionsite.&lt;wbr&gt;com/1/restore-canada-council-&lt;wbr&gt;funding-to-controlled-&lt;wbr&gt;circulation-magazines&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Groupe sur Facebook : &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=57108087126" target="_blank"&gt;Restore Canada Council Funding to Controlled-Circulation Magazines&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=57108087126" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;OU téléchargez la  pétition en format &lt;a href="http://www.scena.org/pdf-files/LSMPetitionBil.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;PDF.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;------------------------------&lt;wbr&gt;--------------------&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Nouveau à &lt;i&gt;LSM Online&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nouveau: services RSS.

Appearing July 2, our July-August issue looks at virtuoso violinist Jonathan Crow, including his involvement with the formation of the New Orford String Quartet. Crow is also our featured July Discovery CD artist presented by &lt;i&gt;LSM&lt;/i&gt; with XXI Records (available &lt;i&gt; only&lt;/i&gt; to paying subscribers). As we celebrate competitions, you’ll get in-depth profiles on winners of the Montreal International Music Competition, the Prix d’Europe, and other competitions as well as a look at the coming Canadian Music Competition in an interview with conductor Jean-François Rivest. In addition, Maestro Kent Nagano discusses his Brahms-filled summer. We also look at the Canadian premiere of the &lt;i&gt; Messa per Rossini&lt;/i&gt; at Lanaudière; this grandiose work is a collection of requiems written in collaboration between 13 of Rossini’s most prominent contemporary Italian composers. All of this and more, including calendars, reviews and summer reading.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;The July-August issue of &lt;i&gt;La Scena Musicale&lt;/i&gt; is distributed on July 2 and the deadline for  advertising is June 26, 2009.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Looking towards the fall, we    are pleased to announce the first-ever annual &lt;i&gt;&lt;strong&gt;La SCENA &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Arts Directory&lt;/strong&gt;, which will hit stands August 12, 2009. The directory will be the first of its kind in Quebec and promises to be a premier source for professional artists, students, and arts-lovers in the province. Through the directory, readers will have access to comprehensive listings of schools, conservatories, teachers, programs, competitions, websites, performance spaces, amateur and professional choirs and ensembles, supply stores, high end audio, agents and much more in the fields of music, dance, theatre, film, and visual arts. There will be regional listings as well as a national section, plus a fee based international section. The appearance of the bilingual directory is timed for back to school, and will be the essential guide for arts and music learning and participation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fall arts and music scene    will be extensively covered in the Fall Edition of &lt;i&gt;La      SCENA&lt;/i&gt;, which will appear on September 3, 2009. We are thrilled to grace its cover with Canadian auteur Robert Lepage, the internationally-acclaimed playwright, filmmaker, and multimedia artist. Included in the Fall issue will be the September issue of &lt;i&gt;La Scena Musicale&lt;/i&gt;, featuring tenor  Marc Hervieux.

In 2007-08, the Canada Council funded 106 arts &amp;amp; literary magazines for a total of $2,661,900.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;We feel that all arts and literary magazines should be treated equally and fairly, and this means the ability to submit an application that is reviewed by a peer jury. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Consequently, &lt;i&gt;La Scena Musicale&lt;/i&gt; has launched a campaign to reverse the Canada Council policy change.Please show your support for all controlled-circulation arts magazines (including our family of magazine) by signing up and circulate this appeal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See our blog article for details: &lt;a href="http://www.scena.org/blog/2009/02/canada-council-drops-support-for.html" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.scena.org/blog/&lt;wbr&gt;2009/02/canada-council-drops-&lt;wbr&gt;support-for.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Online petition: &lt;a href="http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/restore-canada-council-funding-to-controlled-circulation-magazines" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.thepetitionsite.&lt;wbr&gt;com/1/restore-canada-council-&lt;wbr&gt;funding-to-controlled-&lt;wbr&gt;circulation-magazines&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and a Facebook group &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=57108087126" target="_blank"&gt;Restore Canada Council Funding to Controlled-Circulation Magazines&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OR download the petition in &lt;a href="http://www.scena.org/pdf-files/LSMPetitionBil.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;PDF format&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;______________________________&lt;wbr&gt;______________________________&lt;wbr&gt;___________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;New LSM Online Feature: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NEW: RSS Feeds for our news, blogs and Lebrecht Weekly: &lt;a href="http://www.scena.org/RSS_SCENA.html" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.scena.org/RSS_SCENA&lt;/a&gt;       &lt;a href="http://www.scena.org/RSS_SCENA.html" target="_blank"&gt;.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;______________________________&lt;wbr&gt;______________________________&lt;wbr&gt;_________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Advertise with us and reach Canada’s most cultured consumers:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Want to reach the affluent, sophisticated, urban 35+ demographic or professional and student musicans and artists?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;La Scena Musicale&lt;/i&gt; invites you into the lives of 100,000 highly educated Canadians with sophisticated taste in culture and lifestyle.

These Bostonian Bravo Series concerts on Thursday, June 18 and Friday, June 19 at 8 p.m. in the NAC’s Southam Hall open with Capital BrassWorks alternating with a women’s chorus in works by Bach and Brahms. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 110%;font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12;"  lang="EN-CA" &gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 110%;"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;" &gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 110%;"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;"  lang="EN-CA"&gt;On Friday, June 19 only, there is a Musically Speaking pre-concert talk at 7 p.m.  This &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;" &gt;exploration of the Brahms &lt;i&gt;German Requiem&lt;/i&gt; will be led by star soprano-teacher Benita Valente (on the faculty of the NAC Summer Music Institute) and demonstrated by young soprano Maghan Stewart and baritone Jonathan Estabrooks accompanied by pianist Jean Desmarais. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;"  lang="EN-CA"&gt;This entertaining and informative lecture-demonstration, hosted by Paul Lefebvre, is free. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 110%;"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;" &gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 110%;"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;" &gt;Brahms considered calling this Requiem the “Human Requiem”. With a gentle setting of “How lovely is thy dwelling place” as its centrepiece, it is intended to comfort the bereaved and give them peace and hope. The composer’s crowning achievement, the German Requiem ranges from radiant to dramatic. Brahms began the Requiem when he was only 23 and suffering from the loss of Schumann, his dear friend and mentor – and he completed it three years after the death of his mother. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 110%;"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;" &gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 110%;"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;" &gt;The opening half of this program features Capital Brassworks, a 12-member ensemble made up of brass players from the NAC Orchestra, in transcriptions of three Bach numbers, two of which are introduced by the respective chorales upon which they are based performed by a women’s choir singing unaccompanied – “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring” (&lt;i&gt;Jesus bleibet meine Freude&lt;/i&gt;) and “Sleepers, Wake” (&lt;i&gt;Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme&lt;/i&gt;). As an interlude in this Bach encounter, the women’s choir joins two horns and a harp for a group of Brahms songs that, due to their unusual scoring, are rarely heard in live performance but which are among the most divinely beautiful ever written. The evening opens with Bach’s Fantasia in C major performed by Capital BrassWorks. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 110%;"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;" &gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 110%;"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;" &gt;California-born soprano &lt;b&gt;*Nicole Cabell&lt;/b&gt;, the 2005 Winner of the BBC Singer of the World Competition in Cardiff, and a DECCA recording artist, has received tremendous public and critical acclaim for her work in opera, concert and recital. This season included her debut season at the Metropolitan Opera, and this summer, she makes her Hollywood Bowl debut as Clara in &lt;i&gt;Porgy and Bess&lt;/i&gt;.

Mr. Eanet, currently one of two concertmasters of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, sustained a wrist injury from which he is gradually and successfully recovering. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Garamond;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Garamond;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Garamond;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;About his injury, Mr. Eanet said, "I've definitely learned a few things from this experience. One is that the body repairs itself at its own pace. The healing process is coming along very successfully and I am close to being fully recovered. By the fall, I expect to be back in my chair and ready to dive into this next exciting chapter of my life."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Garamond;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Garamond;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Garamond;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Mr. Eanet expects to join the Quartet, which is known as one of the foremost chamber music ensembles in the world, for its full 2009-2010 schedule in the U.

The existing members of the Quartet, after Mr. Smirnoff's departure, are Ronald Copes, violin; Samuel Rhodes, viola; and Joel Krosnick, cello.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Garamond;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Garamond;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Garamond;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;The arrival of Nick Eanet marks a new era in the history of the world-renowned ensemble. Changes in the Quartet's personnel have occurred singly and slowly, with an average of eleven years' gap between changes. This will be only the ninth incarnation of the Quartet since its inception in 1946.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Garamond;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Garamond;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Garamond;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;The goal of the existing members of the Quartet was to find a player who would take the ensemble into the next generation, and continue the Juilliard String Quartet's legacy with youthfulness and vitality. The qualifications for the new member included an interest in performing contemporary music and a dedication to teaching. Mr. Eanet was a natural choice, as he brings to the Quartet the ideal qualities of having a new viewpoint as well as &lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;a shared emotional connection and musical philosophy with his new colleagues&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Garamond;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Garamond;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Garamond;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;For Nick Eanet, the connection to the Juilliard String Quartet is almost familial. He was a student of the founding first violinist, Robert Mann, and his memories of the JSQ date back to his early childhood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Garamond;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Garamond;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Garamond;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;About the Juilliard String Quartet&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Garamond;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;The Juilliard String Quartet was founded as Juilliard's resident string quartet in 1946 by then-Juilliard President William Schuman. The current Quartet with violinist Joel Smirnoff has been together since 1997, when the founding violinist of the Quartet, Robert Mann, retired after 50 years. At that time, Mr. Smirnoff assumed the first violin position, with Ronald Copes joining as second violin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Garamond;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Garamond;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Garamond;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Nick Eanet was a member of the Mendelssohn String Quartet earlier in his career and had continued his chamber music performance while a member of the Met Opera Orchestra since 1999. He is also an experienced teacher of his instrument; while a member of the Mendelssohn String Quartet, he was in residence and taught at Harvard University. He also was a member of the faculty of the University of Delaware and the North Carolina School of the Arts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Garamond;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Garamond;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Garamond;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;As champions of contemporary music since their founding, the Juilliard String Quartet's commissioned works come from noted composers such as Milton Babbitt, Ralph Shapey, Ezekiel Viñao, and Richard Wernick. In 2007-08, the Juilliard String Quartet offered special programming in honor of Elliott Carter's 100&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; birthday, and on April 29, 2008, at Juilliard, the Quartet, with clarinetist and Juilliard faculty member Charles Neidich, performed the world premiere of Elliott Carter's Quintet for Clarinet and String Quartet. It is the latest milestone in the Quartet's history of performing contemporary works as if they had been written years ago, and to play the classics as if they had been written yesterday.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4496101789891190497-5333218594527650658?l=www.scena.org%2Fblog%2Fnewswire'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

continues the  long-standing fundraising tradition begun in the 1830s by the composer Czerny  and features &lt;/span&gt;multiple pianists performing  solos, duets and ensemble works. The first known Monster Concert held in  &lt;st1:city&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Toronto&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt; took place in 1931 and was orchestrated by influential  pianist and teacher Mona Bates to raise funds for the underprivileged. The  ensemble was comprised of the best-known Bates pupils and was conducted by Bates  herself.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Mary Kenedi, a noted  student of Mona Bates’ famed &lt;st1:street&gt;&lt;st1:address&gt;Jarvis Street&lt;/st1:address&gt;&lt;/st1:street&gt; music school, is dedicating the concert to the memory  of her mentor.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;The October  31&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt; tribute also marks the 120&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; Anniversary of Bates’  birth in &lt;st1:place&gt;&lt;st1:city&gt;Burlington&lt;/st1:city&gt;, &lt;st1:state&gt;Ontario&lt;/st1:state&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.5in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;“I’ve always been impressed by what Mona Bates  accomplished during her lifetime,” explains Mary Kenedi.&lt;span style=""&gt;   &lt;/span&gt;“As a musician and teacher I  understand the unique privilege we are given as educators to not only inspire  passion in our students, but also to instill a lasting sense of discipline that  will help them to achieve their goals, musical or  otherwise”.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;Mary Kenedi founded the North Toronto  Institute of Music in 1995 as a welcoming environment for students of all ages  to explore their creativity and develop an outlet for self-expression.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Based on the understanding that an  enhanced m&lt;/span&gt;usical literacy provides an  elevated appreciation of the art form, Mary strives to impart to her students  the same passion for music that has fuelled her own compelling musical  journey.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;As a refugee of the Hungarian Revolution, Mary Kenedi  credits her own mother’s strength and resilience for inspiring her to surmount  obstacles in both her performance and teaching careers.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Whether launching her own teaching  academy or embarking on remarkable projects, such as single-handedly staging the  upcoming Monster Concert at Massey Hall, Mary Kenedi does so with a survivor’s  instinct.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;This extraordinary talent  and drive has earned Mary a renowned reputation as an interpreter of the music  of fellow Hungarians, Béla Bartók and Zoltan Kodály, as well as a respected  interpreter of contemporary Canadian music.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;She last appeared at Massey Hall as an  ensemble performer during the Royal Conservatory of Music’s 1990 Monster Concert  and &lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;made her Carnegie Hall debut in 1983.

We have Beethoven concertos and fine Canadian works, opera, Gilbert and Sullivan, jazz and for a grand finale, Carl Orff’s magnificent oratorio &lt;i&gt;Carmina Burana, &lt;/i&gt;which is by turns thunderous, lusty and delicate, and always mesmerizing&lt;i&gt;.&lt;/i&gt; And of course, an excellent array of artists from Canada, the U.S. and abroad.” &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';"&gt;A Beethoven Piano Festival at St. Christopher’s Anglican Church in Burlington begins this year’s Brott Music Festival.

Le Festival 2009, qui regroupe quelque 75 événements musicaux, se poursuivra jusqu'au 6 septembre. &lt;?xml:namespace prefix = o /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Concert d'ouverture &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Soirée Desjardins&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-ansi-language: FR" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#000000;"&gt;Le public sera ravi de retrouver Les Violons du Roy et Bernard Labadie qui offriront un programme entièrement consacré à l'époque classique. Le concert marquera aussi la première rencontre de l'orchestre de chambre avec le clarinettiste et chef d'orchestre français Paul Meyer. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-ansi-language: FR" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-ansi-language: FR" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-ansi-language: FR;font-family:georgia;color:#000000;" lang="FR"  &gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-ansi-language: FR" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Propulsé sur la scène internationale il y a déjà 25 ans, cet admirable musicien a joué avec les plus grands orchestres sous la direction des plus éminents chefs d'orchestre dans le monde entier. Sa fructueuse carrière lui permet de côtoyer les plus célèbres musiciens, notamment en musique de chambre, ayant collaboré avec Gidon Kremer, Yo-Yo Ma, Barbara Hendricks, Nathalie Dessay et Emmanuel Pahud, pour n'en nommer que quelques-uns. Parmi toutes les personnalités rencontrées au cours de sa carrière, l'une des marquantes est sans contredit le clarinettiste Benny Goodman, une source d'inspiration et d'influence et un ami fidèle depuis plus de 25 ans.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-ansi-language: FR;font-family:georgia;color:#000000;" lang="FR"  &gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Pour ses débuts avec Les Violons du Roy, Paul Meyer interprétera l'une des œuvres phares du répertoire pour clarinette, le &lt;i&gt;Concerto en la majeur, K. 622 &lt;/i&gt;de Mozart. Comme toutes les œuvres pour clarinette du compositeur, le concerto était destiné à son grand ami Anton Stadler, brillant clarinettiste et musicien inspirant. Composé la même année que le &lt;i&gt;Requiem&lt;/i&gt; et &lt;i&gt;La Flûte enchantée&lt;/i&gt;, le concerto atteint des sommets d'expression tout en dévoilant les multiples qualités de la clarinette : sa virtuosité, sa tendresse et son lyrisme rappelant la voix humaine. Bernard Labadie soulignera le 200&lt;sup&gt;e&lt;/sup&gt; anniversaire de la mort de Haydn en dirigeant ses musiciens dans l'une des six symphonies parisiennes, la &lt;i&gt;Symphonie n&lt;sup&gt;o&lt;/sup&gt; 83 en sol mineur « La Poule &lt;/i&gt;». La &lt;i&gt;Symphonie n&lt;sup&gt;o&lt;/sup&gt; 21 en la majeur, K. 134 &lt;/i&gt;de Mozart et la &lt;i&gt;Danse des Esprits bienheureux&lt;/i&gt;, une page célèbre de l'opéra &lt;i&gt;Orphée et Eurydice&lt;/i&gt; de Gluck, complète cette grande soirée classique. Les brunches-musique sont une délicieuse façon de découvrir le Domaine Forget. Deux services sont offerts : de 10 h 30 à midi et de 12 h 30 à 14 h. À l'occasion du brunch-musique du &lt;b&gt;dimanche 21 juin, Carmen &amp;amp; David Trio &lt;/b&gt;offrira des chansons françaises à saveur jazz.&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Les cours de maîtres et les concerts des stagiaires&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;mardi 16 juin, à 9 h 30, le clarinettiste &lt;b&gt;Paul Meyer&lt;/b&gt;, donnera son premier cours de maître au Domaine Forget. Le même jour, à &lt;b&gt;13 h 30&lt;/b&gt;, les stagiaires recevront les conseils du bassoniste &lt;b&gt;Richard Ranti&lt;/b&gt;, basson solo de l'Orchestre symphonique de Boston. Le &lt;b&gt;mardi 23 juin, à 13 h 30&lt;/b&gt;, aura lieu le cours de maître du flûtiste &lt;b&gt;Mathieu Dufour&lt;/b&gt;, flûte solo de l'Orchestre symphonique de Chicago. Le &lt;b&gt;jeudi 25 juin, à 16 heures,&lt;/b&gt; le public est convié au concert des stagiaires ayant participé au stage des bois. &lt;b&gt;Les cours de maître et les concerts sont présentés gratuitement à la salle Françoys-Bernier.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Abonnement&lt;/b&gt; au Festival consiste en &lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold"&gt;10 billets de concert au choix ou 8 billets de concert et 2 billets pour les brunches-musique du dimanche.&lt;/span&gt; Offert au prix de &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"&gt;275 $ &lt;/b&gt;(taxes incluses), l'abonnement permet d'économiser de 15 à 30 % sur le prix régulier et de profiter des meilleurs choix de sièges disponibles pour les concerts du Festival présentés du 20 juin au 6 septembre.

Un opéra féerie pour petits et grands, à regarder, à goûter, à écouter, à respirer, à vivre… qui se situe aux confins du conte et de la fable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cette œuvre poétique est le fruit de l’imaginaire de deux artistes majeurs du Québec contemporain et grands observateurs de la nature : le compositeur &lt;b&gt;Gilles Tremblay&lt;/b&gt;, pilier des cultures musicales québécoise et canadienne, qui a sonorisé le pavillon du Québec à l’expo 67 et &lt;b&gt;Pierre Morency&lt;/b&gt;, poète, homme de théâtre, de radio et de télévision, auteur du magnifique ouvrage &lt;i&gt;L’œil américain&lt;/i&gt;, qui signe ici son premier livret d’opéra, d’après un conte de l’écrivaine et aventurière française Madame D’Aulnoy. Ils ont tous deux reçu pour l’ensemble de leur œuvre plusieurs hautes distinctions. La mise en scène a été confiée à l’homme de théâtre &lt;b&gt;Robert Bellefeuille&lt;/b&gt;, à qui l’on doit des mises en scène de créations remarquées (&lt;i&gt;Le conte de Monte-Cristo&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Jouliks, La Dame aux camélias&lt;/i&gt;). La scénographie est de &lt;b&gt;Jean Bard&lt;/b&gt; et les éclairages de &lt;b&gt;Nicolas Descoteaux&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dans la fosse, &lt;b&gt;Lorraine Vaillancourt&lt;/b&gt; assure la direction musicale des 13 interprètes et des 25 musiciens du &lt;b&gt;Nouvel Ensemble Moderne &lt;/b&gt;(augmenté pour l’occasion), dont c’est la 4e collaboration avec Chants Libres, après &lt;i&gt;Il suffit d’un peu d’air&lt;/i&gt; de Claude Baliff, &lt;i&gt;La Princesse blanche&lt;/i&gt; de Bruce Mather et &lt;i&gt;Le Vampire et la Nymphomane&lt;/i&gt; de Serge Provost.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sur scène, des personnages plus colorés les uns que les autres prennent vie par une jeune distribution entièrement canadienne : &lt;span style="color:#323232;"&gt;YBY, &lt;b&gt;Jean Maheu&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;x&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color:#323232;"&gt; (comédien-baryton) ; BELLE-ÉTOILE, &lt;b&gt;Marianne Lambert&lt;/b&gt; (soprano) ; POULANE, &lt;b&gt;Marie-Annick Béliveau&lt;/b&gt; (alto) ; FEINTISE, &lt;b&gt;Michèle&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;Motard&lt;/b&gt; (mezzo-soprano) ; L’OISEAU, &lt;b&gt;Scott Belluz&lt;/b&gt; (haute-contre) ; LE ROI, &lt;b&gt;Taras&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;Kulish&lt;/b&gt; (basse) ; CHÉROT, &lt;b&gt;Sylvain Paré&lt;/b&gt; (ténor) ; LA POMME QUI CHANTE et LA&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;SIRÈNE&lt;b&gt;, Claudine Ledoux&lt;/b&gt; (mezzo-soprano) ; TOURTERELLE, &lt;b&gt;Stéphanie&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;Pothier&lt;/b&gt; (mezzo-soprano) ; BLONDINE, &lt;b&gt;Anne Saint-Denis&lt;/b&gt; (soprano) ; PETIT-SOLEIL,&lt;b&gt; Julien Patenaude&lt;/b&gt; (baryton)&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;;&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;BEAUJOUR, &lt;b&gt;Philippe&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;Martel&lt;/b&gt; (baryton).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#323232;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;L’HISTOIRE&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Yby&lt;/b&gt;, le narrateur, mi-oiseau, mi-abeille, toujours en dialogue avec le Tambour-Parleur, nous invite dans un monde féerique et nous relate cette histoire où la vérité triompha de la fourberie, où l’amour eut à traverser trois grandes épreuves en découvrant l’eau qui danse, la pomme qui chante, et l’oiseau qui dit la vérité, pour que deux êtres se reconnaissent eux-mêmes l’un à l’autre.&lt;br /&gt;Dans la Ville Merveilleuse, entourés d’êtres menus de la nature, abeilles, mouches, guêpes, cigales, grillons, moucherons et bestiolinettes, la reine Blondine mit au monde deux fils et une fille qui portent au front l’étoile d’or et au cou une chaînette dorée, et la princesse Brunette accouche d’un garçon rayonnant de beauté. La Reine Mère Poulane prit ombrage de l’arrivée de ces magnifiques enfants qu’elle livre secrètement aux flots, avec l’aide de sa Dame d’honneur Feintise. Recueillis par Corsaire et Corsine, qui leur donnent le nom de Belle-Étoile, Beaujour, Petit-Soleil et Chérot, ceux-ci grandissent, aimés et protégés de l’ire de leur grand-mère.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apprenant à 16 ans qu’ils pourraient être les enfants de grands seigneurs, ils décidèrent d’aller à la découverte de leur origine. Au terme de trois mois de navigation, accompagnés de Tourterelle et Sirène, ils abordèrent au port de la plus belle ville du monde et furent accueillis par le Roi. Poulane, furieuse, découvre la traîtrise de Feintise qui lui jure qu’elle trouvera le moyen de se débarrasser d’eux, et leur impose trois épreuves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Au péril de sa vie, voyageant aux confins du monde, et grâce au précieux concours de Tourterelle, Chérot va trouver l’eau qui danse et la pomme qui chante, qui ont eu des effets instantanés et formidables sur la beauté et l’esprit de Belle-étoile. L’ultime test, la découverte de l’oiseau magnifique qui dit la vérité, dévoile à Belle-étoile et à Chérot qu’ils ne sont pas frère et sœur, permettant à l’amour qui les trouble de se vivre, aux mensonges de se dénouer et à la fête de se célébrer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#323232;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Opéra féérie&lt;/i&gt; est une création de Chants Libres, présentée avec l’appui du Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec, du Conseil des arts de Montréal, du Conseil des Arts du Canada et de Opéra.ca, et avec la collaboration du NEM.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana, Helvetica, Arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.chantslibres.org/" target="_blank"&gt; www.chantslibres.org &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4496101789891190497-6337679288324910829?l=www.scena.org%2Fblog%2Fnewswire'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

Nous demandons au gouvernement fédéral de prendre, sans tarder, la pleine mesure de la place qu’occupe la SRC dans le développement socioéconomique canadien et d’assurer sa pérennité.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rappelons que pour faire face à une situation économique globalement difficile et à un manque à gagner annoncé de 171 millions de dollars pour 2009-2010, la SRC s’est tournée vers le gouvernement fédéral en mars dernier pour obtenir l'autorisation de mettre en place certaines mesures d'urgence, ce qui lui a été refusé. Conséquemment, la société d’État a dû amorcer un processus de coupures de postes qui résultera, à terme, dans la perte de quelque 800 emplois, dont près de la moitié dans le secteur français. La SRC devra aussi se départir de certains de ses actifs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Culture Montréal joint aujourd’hui sa voix à celle de plusieurs intervenants du milieu des arts, de la culture et de l’information qui s’inquiètent des répercussions qu’auront les pertes d’emplois et d’actifs à la Société Radio-Canada. Un nouveau blogue citoyen, SOS Radio-Canada (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://zeus.megavolt.ca/erep_culturemtl/email/click.php?email=wkchan@scena.org&amp;amp;fk=925&amp;amp;URL=http://www.sosradiocanada.org" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;color:#000000;"&gt;http://www.sosradiocanada.org&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;color:#000000;"&gt;), vient également de voir le jour. Le site explique en détail le contexte des coupures de personnel et recueille les témoignages d’appui envers la société d’État. D’autres actions, telles que des manifestations ou une pétition, pourraient être mises en place sous peu par les instigateurs de ce mouvement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il appert qu’en plus de devoir faire face à cette crise, la SRC fasse l’objet d’une évaluation qui vise à analyser la pertinence pour l’État de conserver certaines sociétés de la Couronne au sein de ses actifs. Des secteurs aussi stratégiques que l’énergie (Énergie atomique du Canada), le transport (Via Rail) et la culture sont visés. Le Centre national des Arts, institution qui joue un rôle central au niveau pancanadien dans la création et la diffusion des arts, et la Société Radio-Canada font partie de ce sombre tableau. Nous demandons au gouvernement d’évaluer prudemment l’ampleur et la gravité des conséquences d’une éventuelle privatisation de ces institutions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Culture Montréal invite ses membres et la population à se tenir informés et à s’engager pour que soit assuré un avenir serein et certain à la Société Radio-Canada. Notre travail de représentation ira naturellement en ce sens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;color:#000000;"&gt;---&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Fondé en 2002, Culture Montréal est un mouvement citoyen et non partisan dont le mandat est d’affirmer le rôle central des arts et de la culture dans toutes les sphères du développement de Montréal. Par le biais d’activités d’analyse, de communication, de recherche et de concertation, Culture Montréal contribue à édifier l’avenir de Montréal, métropole culturelle.

The expanded orchestra for this concert, which opens with Copland’s majestic &lt;i&gt;Fanfare for the Common Man&lt;/i&gt;, is made possible in part through the Friends of the NAC Orchestra Kilpatrick Fund.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 110%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';" &gt;&lt;?xml:namespace prefix = o /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="LINE-HEIGHT: 110%"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="LINE-HEIGHT: 110%"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';"&gt;There will be Musically Speaking Pre-concert Chats both nights at 7 p.m. in English titled “Classical and Jazz: Not Such Strange Bedfellows” featuring composer, arranger, musician and CBC Radio personality Andrew Craig, and hosted by CBC Radio’s Alan Neal. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="LINE-HEIGHT: 110%"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="LINE-HEIGHT: 110%"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';"&gt;Both nights, there will also be an intimate post-concert Jazz Café in the NAC’s Fourth Stage hosted by Alan Neal and Andrew Craig and featuring Ottawa’s star bassist John Geggie with his guests, pianist Edward Simon and Montreal drummer Jim Doxas. Their performance will consist of many original compositions as well as repertoire reflecting their interest in classical composers and the improvised jazz idiom. Tickets for the Jazz Café are sold separately from the NAC Orchestra concert and cost $15.  &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="DefaultText" style="LINE-HEIGHT: 110%"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="DefaultText" style="LINE-HEIGHT: 110%"&gt;Rimsky-Korsakov’s &lt;i&gt;Scheherazade &lt;/i&gt;will offer the NAC Orchestra concertmaster Yosuke Kawasaki a chance to shine. In the composer’s musical setting of the Arabian Nights, it is the solo violin that personifies Scheherazade, the entrancing storyteller who postpones her death a thousand and one nights by bewitching the vengeful wife-killing Sultan with her exotic tales. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="DefaultText" style="LINE-HEIGHT: 110%"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="DefaultText" style="LINE-HEIGHT: 110%"&gt;Russian pianist Kirill Gerstein is quickly proving to be one of today’s most promising and intriguing young artists. Born in 1979 in Voronezh, Russia, he went to the US at the age of 14 to attend the Berklee College of Music in Boston later studying with Solomon Mikowsky at the Manhattan School of Music and Dmitri Bashkirov in Madrid. Gerstein received the First Prize at the 2001 Arthur Rubinstein Piano Competition in Tel Aviv and was a recipient of a 2002 Gilmore Young Artist Award. He was also selected as Carnegie Hall’s “Rising Star” for the 2005-06 season. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="DefaultText" style="LINE-HEIGHT: 110%"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="DefaultText" style="LINE-HEIGHT: 110%"&gt;Kirill Gerstein says: “I both love and admire the G-major Ravel piano concerto. It seamlessly combines influences from the world of Jazz, Spanish music, Mozart and the Baroque, all the while sounding unmistakably Ravel. The composer himself said that he wanted this concerto to be “entertaining” – and it is, in  the best sense of the word. Within a compact form, there is a multitude of  moods, serious emotion in the beautiful second movement, virtuosic solos for  various instruments and sections of the orchestra as well as brilliant piano writing. I am very much looking forward to playing the piece with the NAC Orchestra and Maestro Zukerman.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="DefaultText" style="LINE-HEIGHT: 110%"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="DefaultText" style="LINE-HEIGHT: 110%"&gt;Tickets for these National Arts Centre Orchestra concerts led by Pinchas Zukerman with pianist Kirill Gerstein on Wednesday, June 10 and Thursday, June 11 at 8 p.m. are on sale now at $19.00, $39.00, $49.00, $59.00, $69.00 and $86.00 (GST and Facility Fee included) at the NAC Box Office (Monday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.), and through Ticketmaster (with surcharges) at 613-755-1111.
