Guided musical tours
Atopos, a variable-geography ensemble, confers an interwoven sonic aura on different spaces and plays with the functions of the former and current premises of the exceptional heritage complex that is the École des Ursulines. As a counterpoint to a tour rich in stories, ephemera and anecdotes of the premises, the musicians approach as many conceptions of music: conceptual, architectural, concrete, playful and interactive, in order to offer current and timeless foundations to the echoes of some of the sixty or so thousand school days held there since the first lessons were given.
Approximate duration 60 to 75 minutes.
Atopos, ensemble à géographie variable
Atopos, ensemble à géographie variable is a musical group based in Quebec City that offers concerts and other interdisciplinary artistic events outside the usual performance venues. Its current repertoire, with a strong emphasis on creation and experimentation, is always closely linked to the heritage or missions of the spaces that serve as its ephemeral stages.
Pôle culturel du Monastère des Ursulines
The Pole culturel, a nonprofit organization, ensures the management of the museum and its collections in addition to assuming responsibility for the community’s historical and administrative archives. The organization also develops activities that highlight the cultural, artistic, archival, religious and educational legacy of the Ursulines.
