La SCENA announces Launch of 2nd season

[Version franˆßais]


Montreal most exciting new magazine begins its 2nd year with a bang. With its new, perfectly bound format, and the ability to get the exclusive interviews (Gradimir Pankov, Denys Arcand, Simon Brault, Michaˆ´lle Jean and Jean-Daniel Lafond), in its first year La SCENA has already proven itself to be a relevant and active defender of the arts. This September, for our Fall Arts Preview, our featured exclusive interviewee is the world-renowned tenor Plˆ°cido Domingo, who has in recent years added conductor and arts administrator to his hectic schedule. Examine the world’Äôs first Andy Warhol exhibit highlighting the fundamental role of music in his work, from his portraits of Elvis to his cover illustration for Tchaikovsky’Äôs Swan Lake. We’Äôre also celebrating the 75th anniversary of the Montreal Children’Äôs Theatre and the 10th International Marionette Festival. The La SCENA Fall Arts Preview issue is scheduled to be 100+ pages, the largest such issue in Montreal.

Included in La SCENA is the September issue of La Scena Musicale, which will feature a special dossier on the organ: including coverage of The Canadian International Organ Competition (coming to Montreal October 8-19), the art of organ building, the classical organ repertoire and an article on Olivier Messiaen. Our Puccini series continues with an analysis by Renˆ© Champigny of the composer's opera "La Fanciulla del West". As well, we guide you through buying and tuning a piano and look at the ever-changing evolution of music teaching, from Orff to Suzuki.

We are accepting ad bookings for our September issue of La SCENA / La Scena Musicale

This issue is ideal for back to school instrument and art supply sales, music and arts season subscription drives, choral auditions (see our choral guide), music and art courses and much more. Please note that our deadlines are one week earlier this year (see below for more info).

Our 2008-2009 publishing schedule is now available: 4 issues of La SCENA and 6 issues of stand-alone La Scena Musicale (2 of these are national issues) plus 2 issue of The Music Scene Ontario. For more info on rates and production please visit http://ads.scena.org
