This ensemble is made of young, dynamic Montreal musicians who each have a rich musical life on their own outside of Pallade Musica, too. What I love about this particular program is that it shows how relevant an old narrative can be even for today’s world. One of these scores includes instructions for singers to distance for safety! This is not the first time humans have wrestled with a pandemic, nor is it the first time we’ve turned to music for expression and solace.
