Directed by conductor Thomas Leduc-Moreau, the show presented at the Théâtre du Casino du Lac-Leamy from November 23 to 25 will be presented under the formula La pure symphonie.
Without artifice, only music, Harmonium symphonique will feature the Gatineau Symphony Orchestra and a choir of 60 voices, the vast majority of which come from the Gatineau-Ottawa region.
“The show is on tour in Quebec and each time we arrive in a region, we call on local musicians and singers,” says content director François Pilon without hesitation. It’s fascinating to see how attached people are to their orchestra. This is what gives, in my opinion, all the value to this project. Not to mention the music of Harmonium which is a true national treasure.”

Spectators attending the show in Gatineau will quickly notice guitarist Sylvain Quesnel, seated to the right of conductor Leduc-Moreau. The renowned guitarist who also worked on a solo project by Serge Fiori, is full of praise for the work of “Padré”.

“We often forget that Serge is an excellent guitarist,” he says. In addition to being a great lyricist and prolific songwriter, he is an exceptional musician. As much as his voice is very particular, so is his guitar playing. It’s a great pleasure to be able to bring his music to life.”
Obviously, Quesnel will place the chords on the 12 string. The sound of Harmonium is closely linked to that of the 12-string guitar.
“I use it for 80% of the show,” he explains. This guitar is essential in Harmonium’s work.”
There are still good tickets left for the three Gatineau performances. Subsequently, the show will move to Sherbrooke, but there are no tickets left for the three concert evenings in Estrie. The shows in Gatineau will be the last opportunities to see and hear Harmonium symphonique in its current format.
