Louise Bessette makes the news
Press release
For immediate distribution
Saturday, October 26 at 8pm, at the Centennial Theatre (Bishop’s University, Lennoxville, Qc) Louise Bessette will be presenting a program of music from her upcoming CD entitled Tango Diablo!
The program includes masterpieces by Albeniz, Stravinsky, Schulhoff, and Piazzolla, in addition to the Für Louise written by Raoul Sosa, and Antoine's Tango, a lullaby-tango written in 2001 by the American Barbara Kolb and dedicated to Louise Bessette's son.
Louise Bessette has also chosen tangos stemming from Yvar Mikhashoff’s (1945-1993) Elastic Roses project. For this project, he commissioned 88 tangos from composers in 30 countries. Among Ms. Bessette’s selections are the following enticingly-titled tangos: Incitation to desire by C. Biscardi, The Exile's Café by M. Sahl, Tango Dreaming by C. Bright, the amusing Fromage dangereux by W. Schimmel, and the “tango comique” by R. Berkman, Thorn-Torn Lips.
