TURNING A PAGE 

As we enter our 12th season, I am about to 

pass the torch to someone else. We've come a 

long way since Bourgie Hall opened its doors 

in September 2011! I could line up columns 

of numbers: 1,860 concerts, complete works, 

discoveries, hundreds and hundreds of musicians 

from here and elsewhere... 

But what persists in my mind are the countless 

moments of pure joy, those unforgettable 

instances when the music takes on its full 

meaning, when the sounds fill this magnificent 

space and when time stands still; moments of 

listening and sharing so intense that our hearts 

and minds are transported. 

The 2022-2023 season will be similar to 

the previous ones, though with a few events 

to mark my departure. Notably, these include 

an invitation from Ensemble Caprice for a 

carte blanche concert on September 18, 

a farewell concert on January 21 to which 

the public is invited free of charge, and the 

final concert of the Complete Cantatas of 

J.S. Bach on March 26, when musicians from 

the Orchestre Métropolitain conducted by 

Yannick Nézet-Séguin will perform the famous 

Cantata 147, which inaugurated this cycle in 

September 2014 with Kent Nagano and musicians 

from the OSM. Between the beginning and the 

conclusion of this great exploit, we will have 

heard more than 200 works encompassing an 

extraordinary diversity of expression and feeling. 

Together and individually, Bach’s sacred cantatas 

constitute a tremendous sonic and spiritual 

universe. I hope that many of you will come to 

share with us the conclusion of this exceptional 

achievement, which is a first in Canada. 

I cannot close without thanking the countless 

people who have accompanied me on the 

fabulous adventure of Bourgie Hall’s creation. 

I wish to at least mention one name: Pierre Bourgie. 

I believe that music will continue to resonate 

in Bourgie Hall, a place synonymous with 

conviviality, beauty, and harmony. And I know 

that you, dear audience, will be there to keep our 

cherished venue going for a long time to come.

MESSAGES FROM THE DIRECTORS

On March 2, 2022, Bourgie Hall was finally able to 

welcome audiences back at full capacity. All the 

hardship we endured around the long months of 

confinement, partial reopenings and reclosures 

has made the joy we feel today in presenting 

this new season to you all the sweeter. Dear 

music lovers, we wish you a happy return to your 

cherished concert hall! 

The time has come when we can freely indulge 

in art in order to recharge our batteries, stimulate 

our minds, take time to ourselves, experience 

wonder and be moved. We have come to realize 

that experiencing art is actually vital to our lives. 

If we weren’t aware of it already, the events of 

the last months have also reminded us of how 

privileged we are to be able to make art a part of 

our daily lives. 

This year, Bourgie Hall has yet again developed 

a vast array of activities that is sure to resonate 

with each person in a unique way. Music is a 

living being with its own beating heart, but when 

combined with the visual arts, it sings. True 

to tradition, Bourgie Hall has created concert 

programming in connection with our two fall 

exhibitions, Seeing Loud: Basquiat and Music, 

and Music Born of the Cold: Inuit Art, Dance 

and Song, which themselves examine the 

interrelationship between sound and sight. 

In closing, I invite you to join me in congratulating 

Isolde Lagacé, who is retiring after 15 years at the 

helm of Arte Musica. It is Isolde’s spirit that has 

pervaded the many seasons you have enjoyed. 

The sheer excellence of her programming has 

made this hall into a music venue par excellence 

in Quebec, and a musical destination for the world 

at large. On that note … let the music play!

To mark the tricentenary of Book I of J.S. Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier, 

Geneviève Soly will give a lecture to complement four concerts with 

commentary, leading audiences to deepen their appreciation of the 

24 preludes and fugues that make up this corpus, so distinctive in 

the history of music. Drawing on her skills as an educator, she will 

direct listeners to grasping the essence of Bach’s profoundly spiritual 

discourse. Two Bourgie Hall instruments will be used: the Flemish 

harpsichord by Keith Hill and the Opus 2 organ by Hellmuth Wolff.

In this lecture, the musicologist and 

performer explains her approach to 

the collection that Gilles Cantagrel 

qualified as a “Treatise on the 

passions of the soul.” Identifying 

the underlying narrative of its 

24 preludes and fugues, Geneviève 

Soly presents her method of 

analysis, combining elements 

of Bach’s thought, Lutheranism, and 

musical rhetoric specific to 

the Baroque discourse. 


In connection with the concert-lectures 

on the complete First Book of the 

Well-Tempered Clavier by J.S. Bach 

See details on pp. 6 and 7 

The lecture is free of charge for anyone 

who has purchased a ticket for one of 

the concert-lectures. 


As musicians and poets, 

troubadours found the right “words 

and sounds” to sing, in the Occitan 

language, of the fin’amor, or courtly 

love. Rooted in the chivalrous 

society at the time of the Crusades, 

this new art of living celebrated 

the Lady, an idealized woman 

capable of inspiring outpourings of 

sublime, passionate and mysterious 

love. The source of this lyric 

poetry created waves across the 

centuries, up until our day. Was it 

the troubadours who invented Love 

as we know it in Western societies? 


In connection with the Diabolus in Musica 

concert on October 23 


Part of the Reverdies Montreal Medieval 

Music Days 

Guest curator of the exhibition 

Music Born of the Cold, the 

ethnomusicologist Jean-Jacques 

Nattiez will show how the Inuit 

represented their music through 

their sculptures and engravings. 

We will discover that the two 

main genres—drum dancing and 

throat singing—are musically very 

different but possess, nonetheless, 

common characteristics, such as 

the demonstration of endurance 

and the spirit of competition, 

which in turn allows us to speak 

of a characteristic Inuit music.
