A poet among musicians and a musician among poets, Roger Mas is the most acclaimed contemporary authorcomposer in Catalonia. With 20 years of career behind him, Mas plays in Quebec for the first time to give homage to the great Catalan-Québécois sculptor and ceramist Jordi Bonet, for the 40th anniversary of his death. 

Mas presents a musical journey through songs, in his maternal tongue, in order to underline Jordi Bonet's life, as well as his Catalan cultural references: Taüll's romanesque art, Gaudí's Art Nouveau, the Spanish Civil War followed by a long exile.

Besides the song “Jordi”, from his most recent album, Roger Mas has adapted the poem Soleiada by the great Catalan poet  Joan Maragall, which describes the creation and birth of “The Sun Man”, "L'Homme-Soleil". 

Named “the most beautiful voice the Catalan song has ever produced”, Roger Mas has received more than 20 awards and has recorded more than 9 albums.  His most recent work Parnàs was released in 2018. 

This multifaceted artist, from crooner, to rhapsode to troubadour, often called a “rutilant bluesman” or even  “telluric artist,” will offer two concerts at Salle Claude Léveillée at Place des Arts, in the Quartier des spectacles, on Tuesday 10 and Wednesday 11 of September, Catalonia's National Day.
