Montreal, November 14, 2024 - We are delighted to announce our nomination for the 28th Gala des Prix Opus in the Special Award - Rayonnement à l'étranger category for our two European tours in the 2023-2024 season!

During the 2023-2024 season, the Quasar saxophone quartet performed numerous concerts and collaborations on the international scene. Two European tours marked this season: one in autumn 2023, the other in spring 2024. Concerts took place in renowned concert series and festivals as well as internationally renowned conservatories, where Quasar proved to be a leading ambassador for Quebec composers of all generations, giving them an exceptional international platform while multiplying collaborations and premieres by composers from abroad.
