FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Montreal – Friday, April 10, 2026 – Jeunesses Musicales Canada (JMC) is pleased to announce the next performance in their Happy Hour Concert series, Notes from the Front: Fraternal Music for Voice and Piano, with soprano Mathilde Duval-Laplante and pianists Rosemarie Duval-Laplante and Jean-Michel Dubé, at Joseph-Rouleau Hall at the André Bourbeau JMC House on Thrusday, April 16th.
From the shattering of musical forms to the creation of phantasmagorical atmospheres in response to a need for escape, the trio conveys in music reflections on the realities of the front line. Through music and readings of wartime correspondence, this concert stands as an ode to peace, at a time when global conflicts are more relevant than ever.
Danièle LeBlanc, Jeunesses Musicales Canada’s Executive and Artistic Director, shares: “In a world that doesn’t always make sense, this concert offers a moment of respite and reflection on peace, conflict, and their impact on the human spirit. Through carefully chosen works and texts, audiences are invited to appreciate the talent and unique rapport of its three performers. “
