This Friday the 25th of February , Clavecin en concert is pleased to present a concert starring Luc Beauséjour on the harpsichord, and the Agora orchestra under the direction of maestro Nicolas Ellis .
The Italian masters of the 17th century ( Corelli, Vivaldi and Bach) perfected the modern string orchestra. Together they brought out the beauty and complexity of musical textures ; dually in the form of ” the sinfonia“, operatic overtures, and the concerto grosso (Corelli), and Vivaldi with his unique and outstanding solo concertos.
Johann Sebastian Bach (31 March [O.S. 21 March] 1685 – 28 July 1750) was a German composer and musician of the late Baroque period who became the first great German heir to this new form of composition and complex score writing.
Harpsichordist and organist, Luc Beauséjour leads a very active career; he has performed as a soloist in North and South America as well as in Europe. He received seven Félix Prizes from the Conseil québécois de la musique, which also named him “Performer of the Year 2003”. He also won two Félix trophies at the ADISQ Gala for two of his recordings. Luc Beauséjour has performed numerous repertoire for the harpsichord and organ works of Johann Sebastian Bach. He has led more than 45 recording projects, both as soloist and musical director. Since 1994, Luc Beauséjour has been musical director of Clavecin en concert. He teaches at the Conservatoire de musique de Montréal and at the Université de Montréal, where he obtained a doctorate in performance.
