For those who know him, the name of Walter Boudreau evokes energy, curiosity, and an appetite for all that can nourish the human spirit from the get go. A man of many faces, this orchestral conductor and composer projects a number of images which, apparently, have nothing in common. If he refuses to be strictly categorized, Boudreau has nonetheless been variously identified as:
1.) the man with the legendary red shoes, who will stop at nothing to ensure the wholesale integration of contemporary music in the listening habits of fellow Quebecers;
2.) the inspired and tremendously expressive composer of Golgot(h)a and the Berliner Momente cycle;
3.) the demanding structuralist, a mathematical maniac who relishes the detailed work inevitable in his compositional method;
4.) the energetic orchestral conductor;
5.) the furious [ex-] saxophonist who was both a Jazzer and something of a rocker;
6.) Raoul Duguay's partner at the heart of L'lnfonie, true institution of the 1970s, symbol of the creative explosion and the
Quebecois imagination. [
