About

Debut recording!

Forestare is an ensemble of 12 young award-winning acoustic guitarists, so named in honour of the trees from which their instruments are made. Founded in 2002, the ensemble is as passionate about environmental issues as it is about its music, which includes a wide range of influences including gamelan and pop. Forestare’s debut recording with ATMA features original works by contemporary composers including Steve Reich, Denis Gougeon and Leo Brouwer . Québec poet/singer-songwriter Richard Desjardins makes a cameo appearance with the ensemble performing two of his own songs.
