Past event

Ric’key Pageot presents Classic Black: classical music written by renowned Black composers.

Over the past 20 years, Montreal-born pianist, accordionist, producer, composer, and musical director Ric’key Pageot has worked with such superstars as Madonna, Christina Aguilera, and Cirque du Soleil on their world tours. He has also written music, recorded, or toured with major music icons like Diana Ross, Cher, Earth Wind & Fire, Jill Scott, and—closer to home—Corneille and the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal.

Back in the city for a rare Montreal appearance, Ric’key is returning to his classical roots, performing piano works written by renowned and lesser known Black composers spanning the last three centuries. A truly captivating experience for the audience.
