André Duchesne

March 4 – 11, 2007: Theme of New York City in the Harbor Symphony by Duchesne

Thursday, February 8, 2007 In concert

The Pointe-à-Callière museum asked André Duchesne to compose the 13th Symphonies portuaires (harbour symphonies). Their website tells us that the “author-composer-performer and guitarist André Duchesne will have the honour of presenting an original work to be played on the horns of ships overwintering in the Old Port. The score will include some other unusual urban instruments, from tugboat horns to bells and train whistles.” The event will take place on March 4 and 11, 2007 near place Royale and Pointe-à-Callière, and it’s free. Want to know more about his work? Go listen to some extracts of his recent album Cordes à danser… suite saguenayenne.
