La Scena Musicale Newsletter January 2008: LSM February Issue

February's La Scena Musicale: Andrˆ© Moisan celebrates 30 years in music and much more!

[Pour lire en franˆßais]

LSM's first issue of 2008 will feature legendary Montreal clarinetist Andrˆ© Moisan on the cover as he celebrates this remarkable milestone. Recording artist, conductor, educator, and bass clarinetist with l'Orchestre symphonique de Montrˆ©al (with whom he will appear as soloist in February), Andrˆ© sits down with Marc Chˆ©nard and discusses his career. On the vocal front, La Scena Musicale features the Opˆ©ra de Montrˆ©al presentation of Rossini's gem, The Barber of Seville, from February 2-16, featuring Aaron St. Clair Nicholson, Julie Boulianne, conductor Jacques Lacombe, and the Orchestre Mˆ©tropolitain du Grand Montrˆ©al. We will pay tribute to two great musical masters who are sadly no longer with us: Montreal-born jazz piano legend Oscar Peterson and Karlheinz Stockhausen, one of the most important composers of the 20th century. Our special guide in this month's issue focuses on primary and secondary school music education; in addition to highlighting some schools that are particularly devoted to music, we will feature a teacher who has gone above and beyond in his or her contributions to music education in our schools. Our other regular features this month include the Jazz and World music sections, CD and DVD reviews, and of course the February regional music calendar. Finally, February will also see an installment in our continuing series on Stockhausen student Claude Vivier, one of Canada's greatest composers.
