Stick&Bow: Disrupting the Silence

AN INVITATION FROM THE YOUNG PHILANTHROPISTS COMMITTEE OF ORFORD MUSIC

Concert

Stick&Bow, 2024 Performer of the Year (Prix Opus), presents Disrupting the Silence, a powerful exploration of artistic defiance and resilience. In this politically charged performance, the duo unveils the untold stories of musical geniuses whose mental health was questioned simply for daring to dream of a better world. From Beethoven to Bowie, Lennon to Simone, Parra to Puebla, classical, popular, and folk music intertwine in a celebration of creativity and the spirit of resistance. With cello and marimba, Stick&Bow’s compelling storytelling will lead the way in this unforgettable performance.

A composition by Alexandre Amat will be presented at this concert thanks to a collaboration with the Société de musique contemporaine du Québec (SMCQ), which will celebrate its 60th anniversary next year.

Each ticket sold will help support Orford Music’s mission.
