PASSIONTIDE CONCERT

Holy Week Office with Marguerite Bourgeoys

This historically inspired concert is based on evidence in the music archives of the Congrégation de  Notre-Dame. A Holy Week office in Gregorian chant is recreated as it was sung in the 18th century by the nuns of that order. Organ music by the Sulpicians of Ville-Marie and 17th-century vocal motets complete this moment of musical introspection.
