TURNING A PAGE<br />
As we enter our 12th season, I am about to<br />
pass the torch to someone else. We've come a<br />
long way since <strong>Bourgie</strong> Hall opened its doors<br />
in September 2011! I could line up columns<br />
of numbers: 1,860 concerts, complete works,<br />
discoveries, hundreds and hundreds of musicians<br />
from here and elsewhere...<br />
But what persists in my mind are the countless<br />
moments of pure joy, those unforgettable<br />
instances when the music takes on its full<br />
meaning, when the sounds fill this magnificent<br />
space and when time stands still; moments of<br />
listening and sharing so intense that our hearts<br />
and minds are transported.<br />
The <strong>2022</strong>-<strong>2023</strong> season will be similar to<br />
the previous ones, though with a few events<br />
to mark my departure. Notably, these include<br />
an invitation from Ensemble Caprice for a<br />
carte blanche concert on September 18,<br />
a farewell concert on January 21 to which<br />
the public is invited free of charge, and the<br />
final concert of the Complete Cantatas of<br />
J.S. Bach on March 26, when musicians from<br />
the Orchestre Métropolitain conducted by<br />
Yannick Nézet-Séguin will perform the famous<br />
Cantata 147, which inaugurated this cycle in<br />
September 2014 with Kent Nagano and musicians<br />
from the OSM. Between the beginning and the<br />
conclusion of this great exploit, we will have<br />
heard more than 200 works encompassing an<br />
extraordinary diversity of expression and feeling.<br />
Together and individually, Bach’s sacred cantatas<br />
constitute a tremendous sonic and spiritual<br />
universe. I hope that many of you will come to<br />
share with us the conclusion of this exceptional<br />
achievement, which is a first in Canada.<br />
I cannot close without thanking the countless<br />
people who have accompanied me on the<br />
fabulous adventure of <strong>Bourgie</strong> Hall’s creation.<br />
I wish to at least mention one name: Pierre <strong>Bourgie</strong>.<br />
I believe that music will continue to resonate<br />
in <strong>Bourgie</strong> Hall, a place synonymous with<br />
conviviality, beauty, and harmony. And I know<br />
that you, dear audience, will be there to keep our<br />
cherished venue going for a long time to come.<br />

MESSAGES FROM THE DIRECTORS
On March 2, <strong>2022</strong>, <strong>Bourgie</strong> Hall was finally able to<br />
welcome audiences back at full capacity. All the<br />
hardship we endured around the long months of<br />
confinement, partial reopenings and reclosures<br />
has made the joy we feel today in presenting<br />
this new season to you all the sweeter. Dear<br />
music lovers, we wish you a happy return to your<br />
cherished concert hall!<br />
The time has come when we can freely indulge<br />
in art in order to recharge our batteries, stimulate<br />
our minds, take time to ourselves, experience<br />
wonder and be moved. We have come to realize<br />
that experiencing art is actually vital to our lives.<br />
If we weren’t aware of it already, the events of<br />
the last months have also reminded us of how<br />
privileged we are to be able to make art a part of<br />
our daily lives.<br />
This year, <strong>Bourgie</strong> Hall has yet again developed<br />
a vast array of activities that is sure to resonate<br />
with each person in a unique way. Music is a<br />
living being with its own beating heart, but when<br />
combined with the visual arts, it sings. True<br />
to tradition, <strong>Bourgie</strong> Hall has created concert<br />
programming in connection with our two fall<br />
exhibitions, Seeing Loud: Basquiat and Music,<br />
and Music Born of the Cold: Inuit Art, Dance<br />
and Song, which themselves examine the<br />
interrelationship between sound and sight.<br />
In closing, I invite you to join me in congratulating<br />
Isolde Lagacé, who is retiring after 15 years at the<br />
helm of Arte Musica. It is Isolde’s spirit that has<br />
pervaded the many seasons you have enjoyed.<br />
The sheer excellence of her programming has<br />
made this hall into a music venue par excellence<br />
in Quebec, and a musical destination for the world<br />
at large. On that note … let the music play!<br />

To mark the tricentenary of Book I of J.S. Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier,<br />
Geneviève Soly will give a lecture to complement four concerts with<br />
commentary, leading audiences to deepen their appreciation of the<br />
24 preludes and fugues that make up this corpus, so distinctive in<br />
the history of music. Drawing on her skills as an educator, she will<br />
direct listeners to grasping the essence of Bach’s profoundly spiritual<br />
discourse. Two <strong>Bourgie</strong> Hall instruments will be used: the Flemish<br />
harpsichord by Keith Hill and the Opus 2 organ by Hellmuth Wolff.<br />

Landline is a multidisciplinary<br />
event at the crossroads of<br />
composition, improvisation, and<br />
live painting. Inspired by the<br />
surrealist concept of an “exquisite<br />
corpse,” this event’s collaboratively<br />
composed repertoire is performed<br />
while visual artists create and<br />
respond in situ, rotating canvases<br />
throughout the performance. An<br />
installation in which spectators<br />
are free to choose their viewpoint,<br />
circulate, leave and return at their<br />
convenience, allowing them to<br />
observe the evolution of the works<br />

In this lecture, the musicologist and<br />
performer explains her approach to<br />
the collection that Gilles Cantagrel<br />
qualified as a “Treatise on the<br />
passions of the soul.” Identifying<br />
the underlying narrative of its<br />
24 preludes and fugues, Geneviève<br />
Soly presents her method of<br />
analysis, combining elements<br />
of Bach’s thought, Lutheranism, and<br />
musical rhetoric specific to<br />
the Baroque discourse.<br />
Presented in French.<br />
In connection with the concert-lectures<br />

Well-Tempered Clavier by J.S. Bach<br />

The lecture is free of charge for anyone<br />

In collaboration with Les Idées heureuses<br />
As musicians and poets,<br />
troubadours found the right “words<br />
and sounds” to sing, in the Occitan<br />
language, of the fin’amor, or courtly<br />
love. Rooted in the chivalrous<br />
society at the time of the Crusades,<br />
this new art of living celebrated<br />
the Lady, an idealized woman<br />
capable of inspiring outpourings of<br />
sublime, passionate and mysterious<br />
love. The source of this lyric<br />
poetry created waves across the<br />
centuries, up until our day. Was it<br />
the troubadours who invented Love<br />
as we know it in Western societies?<br />
Presented in French.<br />

Guest curator of the exhibition<br />
Music Born of the Cold, the<br />
ethnomusicologist Jean-Jacques<br />
Nattiez will show how the Inuit<br />
represented their music through<br />
their sculptures and engravings.<br />
We will discover that the two<br />
main genres—drum dancing and<br />
throat singing—are musically very<br />
different but possess, nonetheless,<br />
common characteristics, such as<br />
the demonstration of endurance<br />
and the spirit of competition,<br />
which in turn allows us to speak<br />
of a characteristic Inuit music.<br />
Presented in French.<br />
