✨ Acclaimed Canadian composer Flore Laurentienne will grace the stage for the first time in the Czech Republic during the Spectaculare Festival on 10. dubna. Known for his captivating blend of sweeping orchestral sounds and vintage synthesizers, Flore Laurentienne, the project of Mathieu David Gagnon, will transport you into a world where ambient music meets modern classical artistry. His work, steeped in inspiration from nature and the passage of time, draws parallels to renowned artists like Stars of the Lid, while maintaining a unique, melancholic essence.

✨ Experience the wild allure of Québec through Gagnon's compositions — powerful string arrangements meet the subtle tones of analog synths, creating an intimate yet monumental soundscape. Gagnon’s journey as a musician has taken him from studying classical music in France to producing for innovative Canadian rock bands. The name, Flore Laurentienne, pays homage to biologist Marie-Victorin Kirouac, who documented the natural beauty of southern Québec. Like him, Gagnon captures the enchanting allure of nature through his music.

✨ His debut album, Volume 1, received a nomination for the prestigious Polaris Music Prize and was celebrated in the Félix and Juno Awards. His latest album, Volume 2, examines rivers as a poetic metaphor for the human experience. Prepare to be mesmerized by one of today’s most original voices in the neoclassical genre, where music has the power to suspend time.

✨ Opening the evening is Zuzanna Całka, a talented Polish pianist and composer whose music blends classical finesse with the innovations of ambient, jazz, and impressionism. Her unique soundscapes, crafted through manipulating piano and synthesizer sounds, create a mesmerizing fusion of minimalist sketches and complex structures, often leading to trance-inducing melodies.

📍 Venue: Palác Akropolis, Kubelíkova 1548/27, 130 00 Praha, Česko
