ABOUT THIS CONCERT

At twenty-four-years-old, cellist Stéphane Tétreault has already built a list of recognitions and awards that rivals many late career musicians. Cellist Denise Djokic is a Nova Scotian who captivates audiences with her natural musical instinct and remarkable combination of strength and sensitivity. Together these two cellists perform a powerhouse program that consists of works by Jean-Baptiste Barrière, Béla Bartók, Reinhold Glière, François Couperin, and Gian Carlo Menotti.

Il n'a que 24 ans, mais le violoncelliste Stéphane Tétreault a déjà une liste de distinctions et de récompenses derrière lui comparable à celle de nombreux musiciens en fin de carrière. De son côté, la violoncelliste Denise Djokic est néo-écossaise et elle séduit le public par son instinct musical naturel et sa remarquable combinaison de force et de sensibilité. Ensemble, ces deux violoncellistes exécuteront un programme percutant qui comprendra des œuvres de Jean-Baptiste Barrière, Béla Bartók, Reinhold Glière, François Couperin et Gian Carlo Menotti.
