De belles critiques pour Frédéric Demers
Frédéric Demers and OVNI in concert in Montreal
The Orchestre à vents non identifié (OVNI) under the direction of Jonathan Dagenais had the very special guest artist Frédéric Demers on trumpet. The concert was held on June 26, 2010 at Salle Oscar Peterson in Montréal.
This is a piece I orchestrated and partly composed : Le carnaval de Venise à Montréal. It demonstrates the virtuosity of Frédéric together with the excellence of the OVNI. The humerous side does not alter the great musicianship they offer to us. The recording was done by Philippe Bouvrette. (Duration : 14’20”)
Frédéric Demers et l’OVNI jouent «Le carnaval de Venise à Montréal»
L’Orchestre à vents non identifié sous la direction de Jonathan Dagenais avait comme artiste invité Frédéric Demers à la trompette lors du concert du 26 juin 2010 donné à la Salle Oscar Peterson.
Voici une pièce que j’ai orchestré et en partie composée Le carnaval de Venise à Montréal qui nous montre à la fois la virtuosité de Frédéric ainsi que l’excellence de l’OVNI. Le côté humoristique n’enlève rien aux prouesses musicales. L’enregistrement a été réalisé par Philippe Bouvrette. (Durée de 14’20”)
Article in Fanfare about trumpeter Frédéric Demers
My friend the trumpeter Frédéric Demers is in the spotlight in this article in the music magazine Fanfare. The article is signed by James Reel and gives a critic about the album “Caranaval et Concertos” produced last year and contains an interview with Frédéric. I had the opportunity to collaborate with Frédéric on this production by writing some arrangements. I even composed the jazz section within the “Carnaval de Montéal” based upon the “Carnaval of Venice”. He is a wonderful man an a great artist to discover.
