SUMMARY

The Studio de musique ancienne de Montreal (SMAM) is presenting Pique-niques en choeur! , a series of 4 free concerts in Dorchester Square, Cabot Square and at Parc de L’Espoir during the month of September. Bring a blanket and a picnic and let yourself be transported by the choral of five sublime  voices accompanied by  lute. Marie-Christine Trottier, from Radio-Canada’s  Ici Musique will be the MC and provide commentary.

The listener will be taken on a musical voyage troughout Europe to discover the madrigals and songs of the 15th and 16th  century.  The songs were written in a playful amusing style which lends itself perfectly to a picnic concert in the park. You will be enchanted by the works of Lassus, Monteverdi and Josquin.
