Montreal-based ensemble Cordâme will present a program of reimagined works by Ravel, Debussey and Satie with the works of founder Jean Félix Mailoux on Sunday, February 1st at 3pm at the Methodist Church on Rt. 3 in Saranac.  Admission at the door only; General Admission $20, Children and Students $10. 

Cordâme is a Montreal-based ensemble formed in 2004 and led by composer and double bassist Jean Félix Mailloux. The group explores the intersection of classical music, jazz, and world influences, crafting evocative and richly textured soundscapes. For Cordâme’s recent 20th anniversary Mailloux curated a program blending original compositions with reimagined works by Ravel, Debussy, and Satie, including Daphnis et Chloé, Gnossiennes, and Trois morceaux en forme de poires. His own pieces, such as “À vol de colibri”, “Naïve”, and “Plante Caméléon”, reflect Cordâme’s evolving sound while paying tribute to these great masters.

Cordâme has earned critical acclaim with 11 albums, international tours across Quebec, Canada, the U.S., and Asia, and awards including the 2025 Opus Prize for Jazz Concert of the Year in 2025 for Fabula Femina and Album of the Year in 2013 for Lieux imaginés, and an ADISQ (Québec Association for the Recording, Concert and Video Industries) nomination for Da Vinci Inventions. Their Satie Variations tour was a finalist for the 2018 Rideau Touring Award, was the winner of Accès Culture Award 2016-1017 and featured over 55 performances around the province of Quebec.

We look forward to seeing you on February 1^st to start our 2026 calendar.  For more information on all the upcoming shows, please visit hillandhollowmusic.org.
