    Sound Waves
    Composed by Pierre Labbé
    

MONTREAL, Feb. 26 /CNW Telbec/ - For this open-air concert, the sounds of boats, locomotives, and other urban instruments, including the bells of Notre-Dame Basilica, will join forces for a most unusual, original work. This year, six boats will take part in the symphony. Crowds can attend this concert free of charge in the area in front of the Museum.

Pierre Labbé is proposing an original composition inspired by francophone legends from North America. Michel Faubert and three musicians will warm up the crowd in Place Royale with a very special presentation. The storyteller and his musicians will then reflect on the unexpected sounds produced by the boats performing the all-new Port Symphony.
