World-class performers ready to jazz up Nativity
June 16, 2019
A one-of-a-kind concert experience is coming to Cornwall on Saturday, June 22nd.
The celebrated Classiqu’Arts Productions SDG is launching its 2019 season with a performance by the renowned InSpirations ensemble in one of Cornwall’s most beautiful and historic venues – Nativity Co-Cathedral.
Founded in 2015, InSpirations stands out for its unique sound and its interpretations combining classical, jazz, world music and contemporary musical techniques.
The formation features five passionate virtuosos entirely devoted to their art – clarinetist André Moisan (Montreal Symphony Orchestra), organist Jean-Willy Kunz (organist in residence, Montreal Symphony Orchestra), drummer Camil Belisle, trombonist Hélène Lemay and bassist Frédéric Alarie.
“It’s a chance to see world-renowned Canadian performers in a truly unique concert venue,” said Jean-Roland Tremblay, Executive Director of Classiqu’Arts. “It will be a night of artistic grandeur in a divine setting.”
Attendees can expect to hear familiar favourites like ‘Fly me to the moon’ along with classical and jazz improvisations of Chick Corea and many more. A digital projection screen will be in place for spectators to get an up-close view of all the musicians performing.
The concert begins at 7:30 pm.
