Dive into a lyrical and immersive sleepless night! Marie-Annick Béliveau, Simon-Pierre Gourd and André Éric Létourneau invite you to explore the vocal universe at the 2nd edition of La Grande Nuit with its theme ”voice and immersion”. This unique sensory experience will gather seasoned singers and composers under a sound dome where spatialized and immersive music will follow one another. This 3-part concert-event will allow you to stroll through Quebec’s vocal creation history alongside Walter Boudreau, and delve into the most varied soundscapes before celebrating the 30th anniversary of the lyrical company Chants Libres. Not to mention a participatory work by our honoured Homage Series composer which will add an even more collaborative aspect to this unifying event.
