• OTTAWA • Choeur philharmonique du Nouveau Monde

Dear friends, choristers, musicians and music lovers,

These past few years the whole world has had to adjust to the effects of the COVID‑19 pandemic. Our choir is no exception.

We were planning to present Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis in the spring of 2019, but we had to put those plans on hold. We continued our rehearsals online while waiting for new healthcare regulations. The SPNM choirs were able to study two great works during the confinement, namely the Requiem by Brahms and the Waltzes by Strauss. We were able to perform the Strauss waltzes in December 2021 and in the spring 2022, we presented the magnificent Requiem by Johannes Brahms accompanied by 2 pianos and timpani. We are also working, as always, on other concert opportunities.

 

This December, we will present Vivaldi’s Gloria, accompanied by a full orchestra and in the spring 2023, the wonderful Mass in C minor by Mozart. We invite you to follow our social media platforms and this website for dates and times.

The SPNM will be recruiting new members this year and will welcome back many of our former members. Please visit our recruitment page for more information.

Our choirs are committed to providing quality music to our audience. We can’t wait to pick up where we left off and look forward to being part of your music community once again.

Kind regards,

ANTHONY LAMPRON
Rehearsal pianist

 

For many years, Canadian pianist Anthony Lampron has worked as an accompanist, repetiteur and vocal coach. In the course of his practice, he has developed a strong affinity for vocal repertoire, coupled with a keen interest in languages and their use. In addition to his work as the accompanist with the Choeur Classique de l’Outaouais and the Ottawa classical choir, he has worked with several singers and choirs, including the Choeur d’enfants de l’École Massé, the Choeur Alarica, the Chorale Pop de Montréal and the choir La Chanterelle de la Lièvre, which he accompanied on a musical tour of France and Spain in 2018.

As soloist, he was heard at the Candlelight concerts in Ottawa and Montreal in the Tribute to Coldplay and Tribute to Elton John concerts. He also played the solo celesta part in Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker ballet presented by the Orchestre symphonique de Gatineau in 2021. In addition to his solo commitments, he accompanied the ballet classes of The School of Dance in Ottawa in 2021-2022. Previously, he had worked in July 2018 at Corso di Perfezionamente in Italy and in July 2017 at the Bologna International Opera Academy in Italy as well as at McGill University, from 2013-2015.

His performances as a repetiteur include operas, operettas and musicals. On the opera side, there has been Falstaff (Verdi), L’Heure espagnole (Ravel) and Cavalleria rusticana (Mascagni) with the Théâtre d’art lyrique de Laval. With the Atelier Lyrique de Chambly, he was able to tackle the operettas La Chauve-Souris (Strauss), La Périchole (Offenbach) and Les Bavards (Offenbach). The musicals Wicked (Schwartz) and Il était un pois … (Rodgers) were rehearsed with the University of Montreal’s Musical Theatre.

After his studies in interpretation piano at the University of Montreal, he perfected his vocal coaching skills with pianists Denyse Saint-Pierre, Esther Gonthier and Byron Knutson in Berlin, Germany.  Since September 2022, he undertakes his master’s degree in piano accompaniment at the University of Ottawa under the direction of pianist Frédéric Lacroix.
