- **Event Description**: Learn and hear the history of bagpipes in La Belle Province. With Bruce Bolton and Gabriel Harris. Live music and historical lecture.About this Event(la version française suivra)The story of the bagpipes in Montreal and Quebec has been of interest to Bruce Bolton for decades. He will discuss their presence, if any, during the French Regime and their music on the Plains of Abraham in 1759. For the Scottish soldiers who remained or returned to Quebec, bagpipes influenced Canada’s wider colonial and Indigenous musical traditions. It was the bagpipers with the Highland regiments sent from Britain to defend Canada until 1870 who were most present in this cultural exchange. Quebec’s piping tradition was continued and developed with the establishment of Canadian regiments in the 1860s, the oldest being Montreal’s Black Watch Regiment which has influenced piping here for more than 160 years.This presentation will explore the piping community in Quebec, important pipe bands and their music and traditions, and why a pipe band leads the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade!Music by Gabriel Harris and Bruce Bolton=======(français)Découvrez l'histoire de la cornemuse au Québec. Avec Bruce Bolton et Gabriel Harris. Musique en direct et conférence historique.L'histoire de la cornemuse à Montréal et au Québec passionne Bruce Bolton depuis des décennies. Il abordera leur possible présence durant le régime français et leur musique sur les plaines d'Abraham en 1759. Pour les soldats écossais restés au Québec ou y étant retournés, la cornemuse a influencé les traditions musicales coloniales et autochtones du Canada. Ce sont les joueurs de cornemuse des régiments des Highlands envoyés de la Grande-Bretagne pour défendre le Canada jusqu'en 1870 qui ont le plus contribué à cet échange culturel. La tradition québécoise de la cornemuse s'est poursuivie et s'est développée avec la création des régiments canadiens dans les années 1860, le plus ancien étant le Black Watch Regiment de Montréal, qui influence la pratique de la cornemuse ici depuis plus de 160 ans.Cette présentation explorera la communauté des joueurs de cornemuse au Québec, les principaux groupes de cornemuses, leur musique et leurs traditions, et expliquera pourquoi un groupe de cornemuses ouvre le défilé annuel de la Saint-Patrick !Musique de Gabriel Harris et Bruce Bolton(note: cette conférence se déroulera en anglais et sera suivi d'une séance de questions-réponses bilingue).
