Rotary Centre for the Arts presents CORDÂME Fabula Femina

Cordâme performs a vibrant tribute to poetesses from the Renaissance to the present day. Composer and bassist Jean Félix Mailloux has set to music the sublime stories of Gaspara Stampa, Louise Labé, Emily Dickinson, Catherine Pozzi and Louise De Vilmorin of timeless richness. Texts dealing with love, life and death, wonder, joy and suffering. Cordâme’s musicians along with singer Coral Egan interpret these songs with great sensitivity. Rich orchestrations, dreamlike and touching poetry that will leave no one indifferent. A chamber music project infused by lyrical singing and jazz, highlighting poetesses of great talent with accuracy and sensitivity.

Cordâme is a highly dynamic ensemble dedicated to interpreting the compositions of Jean Félix Mailloux. Formed in Montreal in 2004, Cordâme explores the textures, timbre, and unique sound of strings, giving rise to evocative music. The ensemble has recorded 11 albums, including ‘Lieux imaginés,’ which won an OPUS Prize in 2013, ‘Fabula Femina’ OPUS PRIZE finalist and ‘Da Vinci inventions,’ a finalist at ADISQ in 2022. Cordâme made a significant impact with the Satie Variations tour, a finalist for the RIDEAU 2018 tour award and the winner of the Accès Culture 16-17 award, presenting over 60 performances throughout Quebec from 2016 to 2018. Actively engaged in the Canadian scene, the ensemble regularly tours in Asia and the United States. Cordâme is certainly a group to follow. Led by the prolific double bassist Jean Félix Mailloux, the ensemble promises emotionally charged concerts through their subtle and sensitive music.
