SUMMARY:Oktopus: Performing Arts Trail
DESCRIPTION:The Performing Arts Trail series\, presented by Trail & District Arts Council\, brings you Oktopus.Based in Quebec\, Oktopus is a major presence on the Canadian world music scene\, with over 250 performances to its credit at home and abroad. The octet is primarily devoted to klezmer—the musical heritage of Eastern European Jews—distinguished by a novel approach that incorporates various components of the classical and Quebecois repertoire\, with some jazz and Balkan accents.The group’s eight virtuoso musicians offer festive\, high-energy performances\, at once melancholic and profound\, sprinkled with humour and spiced with narrative\, in which original compositions and finely crafted arrangements combine with improvisation. Its members’ complicity\, shared passion\, and hard work are what makes each of their performances so memorable\, Oktopus is simply… ‘spectentacular’!Oktopus’ distinctive music is undeniably rooted in the klezmer tradition\, reflecting the rich history of a thousand-year-old community\, its persecutions and celebrations\, tears and laughter\, or both at the same time. The members of Oktopus are inspired by the music they hear throughout their own travels. Thus\, the melodies of several classical composers\, such as Bartók\, Brahms\, Prokofiev or Enescu are rearranged by the octet\, particularly their works derived from folk themes. Quebec songwriters are also sources of inspiration\, with Leclerc and Vigneault being added to the group’s repertoire.To hear and see more visit their website at https://www.oktopus.ca.MUSICIANS● Gabriel Paquin-Buki – clarinet\, composition and arrangements● Veronica Ungureanu– violin● Noémie Caron-Marcotte – flute● Matthieu Bourget – bass trombone● Madeleine Doyon – tenor trombone● Guillaume Martineau – piano● Maxime Philippe – drums and percussions● Francis Pigeon – trumpetAWARDS● 2021 – Nominee Canadian Folk Music Award● 2021 – Nominee Opus Award● 2021 – « Special prize for the most creative fusion of ancient and contemporary music traditions » awarded by the Slovak Radio Bratislava● 2018 – Nominee Canadian Folk Music Award● 2018 – Nominee Juno Award● Grand gagnant de la 8me édition du concours les syli d’or de la musique du monde2 x 40 min sets + intermission5 Show Series Pass: $123Individual Adult Ticket: $30.00\, except Shane Koyczan which is $35.PLUS:• the bargain price of $10 for anyone under 30 years old• 2 for 1 for hospital / medical employees for all Performing Arts Trail shows.• New attendees 2 for 1: Bring someone who hasn’t been to the theatre before and get 2 for 1 for all Performing Arts Trail shows.
