We open the show today in conversation with composer, orchestrator and musician Mathieu David Gagnon about his musical project Flore Laurentienne. Gagnon is about to release his third album as Flore Laurentienne. The album 8 tableaux draws inspiration from the works of artist Jean Paul Riopelle, as Gagnon created works to give musical form to Riopelle s paintings. Gagnon joins us today to talk about his new recording and what to expect when he brings Flore Laurentienne to the National Arts Centre s Azrieli Studio on Thursday, February 29th. I would like to thank Mathieu David Gagnon for taking the time to talk to us today and his efforts to explain his artistic vision in English.
