About the concert Montréal-Munich

Presented on May 4, 2025 in Montréal, this project is the result of creative residencies in Québec and Bavaria. Quasar collaborated with six composers — Francis Battah, Philipp C. Mayer, Maxime McKinley, Florence M. Tremblay, Alexander Strauch, and Abigél Varga — to offer six brand-new works, true carte blanche for musical innovation. These creations were later performed in Munich as part of the aDevantgarde Festival, highlighting the international reach of contemporary music.

The 29th Opus Awards Gala will take place on Sunday, February 8, 2026, at Salle Bourgie.

Congratulations to all the finalists !
