Piano and Contemplation: Suzanne Meloche in C Minor
A Celebrated Œuvre
About
As part of our week-long A Celebrated Oeuvre event, take a moment to contemplate the work of Suzanne Meloche, accompanied by the profound, emotional music of pianist Vincent Gagnon.
A time to look, a time to listen, a time to let yourself be carried away. The world stops around you, so you can take the time to simply feel… and maybe enjoy a cup of tea as you truly savour this moment of slow mindfulness.
