A gift for Sophie
This wise tale by Gilles Vigneault introduces us to Sophie, a little girl who loves to draw. Some time after the death of her old Uncle Tom, Sophie loses a precious object. Or has someone stolen her sparkling glass shard, a gift from her friend Emilio? With the help of his friend and the soul of Bonhomme Tom, Sophie investigates among the cats and crows that live around the house.

A Sunday in Kyoto
You are invited to a Zen musical gathering, imagined at the home of old Jo, a Cajun living in Kyoto, accompanied by his Japanese partner. He plays the banjo, she the koto… Around them, musicians from all over the world create an almost silent concert, punctuated by the delicate notes of the shamisen.
Then comes a series of small masterpieces: lullabies, nursery rhymes, sung tales, each delivered with grace, freshness and emotion (a guarantee of a listening experience as rich as it is sweet).
An iconic work by Gilles Vigneault , a legendary figure in Quebec poetry and song, brilliantly performed by a host of exceptional artists: Luc De Larochellière, Luce Dufault, Garou, Pierre Lapointe, Martin Léon, Ariane Moffatt and Jessica Vigneault.
