RADIO-Canada and the MUSICIAN

Alain Lefèvre was 9 years old when he first appeared on television on Radio-Canada, as a guest of the Femmes d’aujourd’hui show, hosted by Aline Desjardins. He had just won the First Prize of the Heintzman Piano Competition. Throughout the years, he has taken part in numerous radio and television shows. On September 4, 2007, he was seen and heard live on both the radio and TV segments of the multimedia event Symphonicité, performing Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue, under Kent Nagano’s direction, on the Place des Arts Esplanade. On February 2 and 3, 2008, he was France Beaudoin’s special guest on the radio show Studio 12, with the Menasen Quartet, Jorane, Suzie LeBlanc, Michel Donato and Paul Brochu.

ESPACE MUSIQUE AND THE HOST

Alain Lefèvre’s world is limitless, alike his presence on the international scene, be it on stage, in recordings, or, since the fall of 2005, as a host of a two-hour show on Radio-Canada’s Espace Musique. His two-hour show on classical music is broadcast every Sunday in Canada, coast to coast, and can also be heard anywhere in the world via the Internet.

With the passion that has become his trademark, he offers the audience a selection of rare or unedited recordings, some by deceased great artists, as well as exceptional performances and discoveries. Alain Lefèvre also shares anecdotes and confidences on the classical musical milieu and its principal characters.
