Ad Lucem

Église presbytérienne St. Andrew’s


496 Birch Ave.

Saint-Lambert


75 min.

Without intermission

This project carries the theme of hope, that fragile and luminous breath we so fervently seek in these times of upheaval. Amid the shadows and uncertainty that define our era, hope remains a guiding flicker of light that guides us, a golden thread that connects us all. In a world constantly transforming, often through pain and chaos, I hope that the music resonating here will offer a moment of solace, a ray of light piercing the darkness.


This repertoire is meant as a tribute to that inner light, to the quiet courage that arises in the most difficult of times. Through these sounds, we wish to open a space where each listener can feel, deep within their heart, that a future filled with beauty and serenity is not only possible, but already within reach. Every note and every silence offer a message of resilience and beauty, a call of hope for the soul, an invitation to softness and peace, like a promise that, even in the midst of turmoil, music possesses the mysterious power to heal us, to unite us, and to lift us, together, toward a brighter future.
