This is an exclusive opportunity to see the Juget-Sinclair workshop in person, learn about how pipe organs are made, and enjoy a special concert featuring Annie Bloch (Cologne, Germany) and Beast (a Montréal organetto and hurdy-gurdy duo featuring Katelyn Clark and Ben Grossman).
The afternoon begins with an open discussion between Taïka Baillaregeon (CMAQ / Héritage Montréal) and Robin Côté (président, Juget-Sinclair), as well as a presentation and demonstration of 4 new organettos (a medieval portative organ) recently built by members of the Juget-Sinclair team). This session will conclude with a communal musicking session featuring no fewer than 6 pipe organs!
The concert portion begins with the acclaimed organetto and hurdy-gurdy duo Beast, composed of Katelyn Clark and Ben Grossman, followed by Cologne-based artist Annie Bloch, who is on tour to promote her recently released album “luvt,” featuring original compositions for chest organ and electronics.
