Baroque Baroque: Mixtape (part. 3) Album Concert is an instrumental evening in Montreal, Canada, built around the full performance of a single album. It takes place at Trou du Diable on November 28.
The music
Baroque Baroque is the instrumental project of Jessy Thériault, drawing on post-rock and neo-classical influences. For this concert, the whole of Mixtape (part. 3) is played from start to finish, a format that suits listeners who know the record and want to hear it in its entirety in a live room. The album turns one year old in October, so the show also marks a moment in its life.
The performance
The set is performed by a four-piece ensemble playing strings, organ, piano and synths. Mixing acoustic and electronic colours is central to the project, and a live band allows those textures to be heard with some weight and space.
The evening opens with Nicolas Dubé, who performs a duo set of pieces from his Stoylov project. It makes for a quieter start before the main set.
