Marrying music with history, this tribute to the Hospitalières is a journey across time, weaving words from the archives of the first Hospitalières with the reflections of today’s nuns on the state of the world. The concert offers insight into the heroic lives of these women and the music from their religious establishments in 17th-century France and Quebec. With the magnificent female singers of the Studio de Musique Ancienne de Montréal and the French actress Célia Laguitton as Sister Marie-Ange, this musical and theatrical creation honours the lives of those who took part in the foundation of the city of Montréal as we now know it, and of the Hôtel-Dieu, where the concert was filmed.
The broadcast and concert will take place at 3pm Pacific.
This concert will premiere online at the EMV YouTube channel and will be available to stream until August 6, 2021. Access to the online concert is free, and donations are greatly appreciated.
