Frédéric Alarie & Jon Gearey - A look back in pictures

A high-quality performance took place at the First Universalist Church of North Hatley (UUE Church).

Frédéric Alarie and Jon Gearey presented an intimate show in this small wooden church. The audience was silent, discovering the original compositions and current standards. Several pieces were taken from their collaborative albums. The musicians delighted the audience with Bob Marley's "Redemption Song," which they performed accompanied by Ryan Frizzell on cornet. Here's a short behind-the-scenes look at the rehearsal :

Indeed, Jon Gearey and Frédéric Alarie have been collaborating for over 20 years. If you haven't yet heard this duo, I invite you to listen to them here :
