The Recorder Athletes is an energetic family concert co-produced by the Orchestre Classique de Montréal and Jeunesses Musicales Canada, designed to delight audiences of all ages. The programme spans a broad range of styles — from baroque and world music to popular repertoire — showcasing the remarkable virtuosity and agility of recorder players.
The concert features the recorder quartet Flûte Alors!, comprising Vincent Lauzer, Marie-Laurence Primeau, Alexa Raine-Wright, and Caroline Tremblay, joined by the OCM under the baton of conductor Andrei Feher. The texts are written by Flûte Alors!, with stage direction by Judith Pelletier, choreography by Marie-Nathalie Lacoursière and Flûte Alors!, and set design by Maryse Messier and Catherine Goerner Potvin.
The show runs approximately 50 minutes without intermission, making it an ideal outing for families with children while equally rewarding for adult concert-goers. It takes place at Salle Pierre-Mercure, Montreal, on May 16, 2026 at 14:00.
