ALLIANCE FRANÇAISE INVITES YOU TO READ...

CLAUDE DEBUSSY BETWEEN THE LINES

Of course, everyone is familiar with La mer, Clair de Lune and Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune. And through these key woks, we feel we know Debussy. But what about his complex relationship with his times and his contemporaries? What was his vision of the art of music? How did his relationships with women influence his creativity?

"Venez rencontrer Claude Debussy et son alter ego, Monsieur Croche, avec la crème des musiciens torontois et un invité surprise..."

"Come meet Debussy and his alter ego, Mr. Quarternote, with performances from the cream of the crop of Toronto musicians and a special guest..."

I am very excited about this project; its coming along quite nicely!   This is a original, biographical show, that uses a combination of theatre and music to explore Debussy's musical and personal life.  I will get to wear my theatre hat as well as my singer hat for this production.
