Did you know? About Cloud 9 musician/composer PHILIPPE NOIREAUT
Philippe has been musical collaborator with Cloud 9 choreographer Lina Cruz for over 20 years. He also composes for cinema, theatre and dance and records jazz concerts and piano recitals for radio and television. Originally from France, his solo performances have been presented in Canada and in Europe. Philippe will accompany renowned Quebec singer-songwriter Gilles Vigneault, now 87 years of age, on his 2017 tour.
Toronto audiences have been fortunate to see several of Lina and Philippe’s works, including Soupe du Jour (2011) which received the 2012 Dora Mavor Moore Awards for Outstanding Choreography by Lina and for Outstanding Sound Design/Composition by Philippe. Last month, Danceworks presented Lina and Philippe’s breath-taking commission for Throwdown Collective, Ylem (3 Eggs Ago) at Harbourfront Centre Theatre.
