Myriam Leblanc & Sylvain Bergeron

When will you be back ?

The idea of presenting a concert around the passion for love is certainly not new, however, presenting baroque, romantic and modern songs with ancient instruments, proposes a journey where poets and composers of all eras come together in this magnificent madness that has inspired them so much. Love, without temporal boundaries, offers a passport to music to express itself in all its characteristic states and colours, thus giving the listener the opportunity to taste works that have nothing in common at first sight, but which are brought together by this universal theme and these particular instruments.
