Hommage to Lionel Daunais
The Société d’Art Vocal de Montréal collaborates with Opéra de Montréal’s Atelier Lyrique in a concert dedicated to Lionel Daunais, a prominent figure in the city’s lyric art scene. As a composer, lyricist, performer, director, producer, and administrator, Daunais heavily influenced music in Québec from 1930 through the middle of the seventies. The Société d’Art Vocal promotes all vocal music repertoires and the Atelier Lyrique, lead with brio by Chantal Lambert, provides young Canadian artists with professional internships that combine training with stage experience. Staged by Marie-Lou Dion, the production Daunais dans Tous les Tons, accompanied by pianist Marc Bourdeau, preserves and diffuses Canada’s musical heritage. Conservatory concert hall, March 6, 3 pm. www.artvocal.ca
