On Sunday, March 15ᵗʰ at 4:30 PM, at St. Thomas' Anglican Church in Belleville, cellist Dominique Beauséjour-Ostiguy will present two beloved solo cello suites by Johann Sebastian Bach, and will be joined by organists Matthieu Latreille and Francine Nguyen-Savaria to present romantic works for cello and organ. “Cello and organ is such a beautiful combination,” says Matthieu. “The timbers blend so well... it is the perfect combination!”
A laureate of the prestigious “Prix d'Europe” competition—and the recipient of the prize the competition was named after—Beauséjour-Ostiguy was recognized as one of the “30 Hot Canadian Classical Musicians under 30” of CBC Music in 2018. (Several musicians invited for “Music at St. Thomas’” have been rated as such.) He is also a founding member of the Andara Quartet, “Trio de l’Île” and recently joined the well-known “Trio Hochelaga.” He plays on a David Tecchler cello dated 1704, with a Pierre Simon bow dated 1855, graciously loaned to him by sponsoring company Canimex Inc. from Drummondville, Quebec.
Presenting romantic works for cello and organ is an ambitious project, as the repertoire is rare, but not inexistant. The challenge will be expanded by the fact that the aesthetics of St. Thomas' Gabriel Kney organ are resolutely neo-baroque. The organists are however keen to present romantic works nonetheless. “We could limit ourselves, but we won't,” says Francine. “Organists have always adapted various works to several instruments. The organ at St. Thomas' is versatile and string instruments sound so wonderfully in the church. The romantic repertoire is worth discovering.”
