Set your TV recorder: Les Cowboys Fringants
Les Cowboys Fringants en concert avec l'Orchestre symphonique de Montréal
In 2020, les Cowboys Fringant recorded a performance with l'Orchestre symphonique de Montréal. I was lucky enough to record it on my old PVR, and watched it many times.
The concert is one of the most moving, goose-bump raising performances I've ever seen even though my ability to understand spoken or sung French is very limited.
It will air on CIVM (Channel 69 on Rogers-Ottawa) this week at the following times:
- Tuesday, November 28 - 8pm
- Friday, December 1 - 9pm
- Saturday, December 2 - 9pm
You should set your recorder.
The concert will likely also play on the Télé-Québec app.
In Memory of Karl Tremblay
The tragic reason that this concert is being re-aired this week is that Karl Tremblay, the band's lead singer, died from cancer on November 15.
Tremblay's death has triggered what Quebec Premier Francois Legault described Thursday as an "immense wave of love and sadness" across the province.
The CBC reported that Legault also said that Tremblay is entitled to a national funeral.
Although many Anglo-Canadians weren't familiar with Karl Tremblay and Les Cowboys Fringant, their music is well known and well loved in Québec and all of French Canada.
