Philippe Côté, Marc Copland et le Quatuor Saguenay

QUEBEC/NEW-YORK

GRANDES SOIRÉES

With the project Variations, the saxophonist and clarinetist Philippe Côté teams up with the prolific New York pianist Marc Copland, as well as with the Quatuor Saguenay, for an encounter that brings together the world of composition and improvisation. We discover in this music a wealth of composition, as well as a fresh approach to improvisation, distilled into a perfect blend of expressive sonic textures, minimalism and neo-classicism. The musicians will grace us with a series of variations composed by Philippe Côté on the piece The Bell Tolls by Marc Copland, as well as on La fleur et la roche by Philippe Côté.
