• OTTAWA • Choeur philharmonique du Nouveau Monde

Dear friends, choristers, musicians, and music lovers,

During my tenure as President, I have seen many challenges in the choral and music community.   The most important thing that has remained constant is the joy of music and our ability to share these glorious works of musical art with all of you.  As a community choir in the Ottawa and Gatineau region, we are proud to fulfill our mission to bring quality music to this area of the country.

The SPNM, Société philharmonique du Nouveau Monde is made of 3 choirs, Choeur philharmonique du Nouveau Monde Ottawa (formerly known as Ottawa Classical Choir), CPNM Basses-Laurentides, CPNM Montreal and of the OPNM,  Orchestre philharmonique du Nouveau Monde.  Every season, the members have the opportunity to perform multiple concerts in each of our respective cities in their magnificent venues.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the volunteers, the board, and members of the choir for their commitment.  Anthony Lampron, our rehearsal pianist, brings enthusiasm and professionalism to our Thursday night rehearsals and our Artistic Director, Michel Brousseau for his vision and devotion.

We thank you for your support by purchasing tickets to our concerts. You will experience a musical journey you will never forget.

 

Eunice Racicot,

President

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.
