From August 22 to 25, 2019, we will be taking part in SALT 2019: New Music Festival and Symposium, at the University of Victoria in British Columbia. A must for new music, this new version of the SALT Festival, presented by the Tsilumos Ensemble, will feature a rich and varied program. We will have the chance to participate in three concerts, including a reprise of Territoires sonores.

Quasar is pleased and honoured to have receive two great nominations for these concerts:

QUASAR-CHESTRA and TERRITOIRES SONORES II

Thank you and congratulations to the participants and collaborators

Quasar-Chestra:

Winner of the new music creation and dissemination residency program (offered by the Conseil des arts de Montréal and the réseau Accès culture in collaboration with Groupe Le Vivier), Quasar is participating this Fall in a series of creative residencies with the next-generation composer Brice Gatinet.

Ouvrons, tendons et prêtons l’oreille...is a project entirely dedicated to new music with a program constructed around Montreal as a sound object.

L'Épicerie musical is in full swing!

From July 29th to September 29th, Jean-Marc Bouchard from Quasar joins the happy team of artist-grocers roaming Montreal's parks, squares and public markets.

Don't miss their visit to your neighborhood by checking the full schedule of musical grocery stores.

Quasar joins our many colleagues' and friends' voices to honor the memory of Gilles Tremblay, who passed away a few days ago. We send our heartfelt condolences to the family, to all his close friends and to all the Quebec music community who owes him a lot.

Quasar had the privilege of working with Mr. Tremblay in 2008 for "Levées" commissioned by Quasar. At that time, Mr. Tremblay, "retired from the conservatory", was a consecrated composer, enjoying a great recognition. He approached this new project with enthusiasm and tremendous freshness.
