Autour de la Flute's Björk Tribute: Flute Magic

0:00It's April 2, I'm Cory with the story, and this is Canada News today, local news powered by AI. Montreal's Flute Ensemble, Auteur de la Flute, is wrapping up their 21st season with a tribute to Björk, called Pagan Poetry. It's hitting the stage this Thursday, May 7, featuring fresh acoustic takes on the Icelandic stars hits by 8 musicians wielding all kinds of flutes. They just did shows honoring David Lynch, an Angelo Badalamenti last month, and now they're dialing up the weird with Björk's experimental vibes. The big draw is the subcontra bass flute, stretching 5.5 meters long. Its rumble goes deeper than a bass guitar, and it's making its live. Montreal debut, Björk's sound always smashes boundaries, blending electronic beats, folk roots, classical builds, and straight emotion into something wild. Please love how this concert strips it down to pure breath and wood, turning synth layers into a living breathing flute orchestra that feels both.

1:00Ancient and futuristic. The gigs are at Sal Joseph Rulow, on Mont Royal East, with the early show already sold out. Tickets for the late 1 at 9.30 pm are still up for grabs, $64 for adults, 32 for students. If you're nearby, snag a seat and let those flutes rework Björk's magic into something you'll feel in your chest.
