Speaking of intimacy, Jean Derome (reeds, flutes, small instruments, voice) and Joane Hetu’s (reeds and voice) presentation of Nous perçons les oreilles was a touching musical portrait of family intimacy presented by two confident and mature performers who invested every ounce of wit and playfulness at their disposal. This was one of those performances that did not hit one over the head at the time but resonated long after.
