The Armenian choral tradition in dialogue with its architecture
Les Rugissants' third major ARCHES series on a Montreal cultural community, ARCHES: Armenian Presence takes us through the history, music and architecture of this community.
Between sacred, classical, and traditional works, the voices of Les Rugissants reveal the beauty and depth of a rare and radiant repertoire!
Step into these memory-filled spaces and let yourself be carried by the resonance of the voices. Through these concerts, we invite you to discover a vibrant culture, to feel its living breath in the heart of Montreal, and to share a moment of listening and light.
