Martha Wainwright hosts Mix sonore

Musical gatherings and first-time duets on Unis TV

Starting May 16 at 8 pm, Unis TV will broadcast Mix sonore, a new musical gathering hosted by Martha Wainwright. After singing on her balcony, the internationally renowned singer-songwriter will be singing on the small screen, hosting a TV program for the very first time in her career. She will share the stage with guest artists including David Myles, Louis-Jean Cormier, Classified, Bobby Bazini, Les soeurs Boulay and Fanny Bloom. Francophone and Anglophone singer-songwriters from all across the country and from different musical backgrounds will get to know each other through their songs.

Electrifying musical performances and first-time duets are on the lineup for this series shot at the legendary Marquee bar in Halifax last January. In front of a live audience, the artists will sing classic tunes, covers of songs that influenced them or their own hits. Produced by Connections productions and directed by Marcel Gallant, the thirteen 48-minute episodes will be available on the channel’s website and through apps for smartphones, tablets and connected TVs.
