Trudel-Bourbonnais Duo Though recently formed, the Trudel-Bourbonnais duo already boasts a rich history. Their opening performance for Oliver Jones at the Palais Montcalm in 2008 earned them immediate critical acclaim. Their first album, set for release in October 2009, is proudly sponsored by the Canada Counsel for the Arts. Recently, the duo received the OFQJ-RIDEAU award after their outstanding performance at the 2009 RIDEAU awards gala. « Pianist Marianne Trudel and harmonicist Lévy Bourbonnais warmed up the auditorium for Oliver Jones. Spotlighting impressionistic pieces, which were often ethereal and sprinkled with melancholy, the artists focussed more on manipulating atmospheres and harmonic combinations than executing spectacular solos to deliver their repertoire. This made it possible to appreciate the unique marriage of piano and harmonica and its possibilities. Captivated by the performance, the audience rewarded the pianist from Saint-Michel-de-Bellechasse and her accomplice with enthusiastic applause. » Festival de jazz de Québec Marianne Trudel Web Site: www.mariannetrudel.com Youth Activities: www.onica.org More informations about Trudel-Bourbonnais Duo ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
