Sylvain Lelièvre

Author, type-setter and interpret Québécois, Sylvain Lelièvre is the heir to the tradition of large the Chansonniers Québécois. Born in 1943, it gains 20 years later the first price of the international contest " Songs on mesure" the radiophonic Community of the programs of French language. It records a first disc in 1971. More than one dozen of albums will be carried out of alive sound, with the number of those are " Small matin" , " Program double" and " Old Orchard" (with the participation of Fabienne Thibeault), " To come to the monde" , " What one made our rêves" , " The Things inutiles" and " Jazz" slope;. Besides this last recording gains the Felix of the best album jazz in 2002. They were the third rewards of Lelièvre after that of better song writer and performer, in 1994, and that of the best republication/compilation in 2001 with “the Integral 1975-1989”.

Its songs often refer to the topicality and the evolution of Quebec. Among its most known songs let us quote " Small matin" , " Marie-Hélène" , " Letter of Toronto" , " Môman is là" and " The Things inutiles". In addition to publishing five collections of poems, he writes a first novel in 1996, entitled " The Third orchestre". Literary work which achieves the unanimity as well near the criticism as of the public. Sylvain Lelièvre is invited, in July 2000, to occur with the International festival of jazz of Montreal, from which will be born its spectacle in sextette, which it will again present in October of the same year to the Large Theater of Quebec.

Less than one year and half later, Sylvain Lelièvre dies out on April 30th, 2002 of the continuations of a cerebral gas embolism, which has occurred on April 28th. This one had plunged it in a deep coma and it rested with the Hospital of Lévis. It was with its 59 years old death. Since, the Town of Quebec inaugurated a park with its memory, more precisely the Sylvain-Lelièvre place in the Limoilou district. Space contains extracts of songs of the song writer and performer, which depict the life in Limoilou, the district of his childhood.
