On December 6 at 3:30 pm, the Chœur classique de l'Outaouais invites you to celebrate its 40th anniversary with À tire d’ailes, a joyful concert inspired by the world of birds.

At the heart of the concert is Glenn McClure’s St. Francis in the Americas: A Caribbean Mass, a work the Choir performed in 2001. The voices will be accompanied by the Hands of Steel Ent ensemble, whose distinctive sound will bring a special Caribbean flavour to this vibrant work.

The program also explores the fascinating world of birds through works by Clément Janequin and Felix Mendelssohn, as well as the premiere of a new composition by Frédéric Lacroix, inspired by the Pileated Woodpecker, the emblematic bird of the City of Gatineau.

Under the direction of Tiphaine Legrand, with Anthony Lampron on piano, À tire-d’ailes will be an opportunity to celebrate four decades of music, creativity and meaningful connections with our audience.
