Micro-Tonalité

La Semaine du Neuf 2027 : Festival Musiques Nouvelles,  Salon Orange, Agora de la Danse, co-presented with Le Vivier.

Thursday, March 11, 2027

Under the direction of Charles-Eric Fontaine, this concert featuring eleven artists, comes from a proposal by emerging composer Francis Battah, who has written a piece for Sixtrum and four keyboardists. The latter will use a system of microtonal scales and synthesizers developed by Battah. A creation by composer Geneviève Ackerman will use the same instrumental setup.

The program will be rounded out by the Canadian premiere of a recent musical composition by Trevor Grahl, Filotaxia, for marimbas and two organs (played via MIDI keyboard) tuned to slightly different temperaments.
