Martha Wainright Sings Offenbach

The adopted Montrealer follows in the footsteps of Ariane Moffatt and Pascale Picard in the creation of the soundtrack for this popular TV series created by Fabienne Larouche and broadcast on Radio-Canada.

As of Wednesday, January 23, 2013, you’ll be able to immerse yourself in the universe of TRAUMA with music by Martha Wainwright by watching the first episode of the fourth season.

Her interpretation of Ayoye (Offenbach) – the first single of the album to be released Tuesday, February 26, 2013 – will be made available the day after the first episode is shown. This go-live approach will be used throughout the season: every Thursday, you’ll be able to download the song heard in the previous night’s episode of TRAUMA, broadcast at 9pm on Radio-Canada.

Today the press screening of the first three episodes of TRAUMA was held in the company of Fabienne Larouche, Martha Wainwright, as well as several actors from the series.

The songs of this fourth season, interpreted in French by Martha Wainwright, are taken from the repertoire of renowned Quebec artists like Offenbach, Daniel Bélanger, Claude Dubois, Ariane Moffatt and Mara Tremblay. She also includes three pieces from her own repertoire with a song from the McGarrigle sisters, all of which she adapted into the language of Molière. Fans of TRAUMA‘s intrigue will appreciate the carefully chosen songs that resonate with the emotions of each episode.

The new year is looking very busy for Martha Wainwright. Having jumped into the number one spot with the release of her album Come Home to Mama in October 2012, she’ll be embarking on a series of concerts across the country that will bring her to Western Canada in March 2013. The girl who literally seduced the Quebec press with her last album will be welcomed back by La Belle Province for several dates that will soon be announced.
