Visuel du concert Montréal-Hanovre - Résonance croisée

Two well-established Montreal quartets - Quasar Saxophone Quartet and Quatuor Bozzini - engage in an innovative dialogue with two brilliant ambassadors of German new music, Flex Ensemble and ur.werk.

Approaching near musical perfection through clarity, energy and brilliance of texture, Quasar and Flex ensemble will premiere Canadian and German works. Quasar will also team up with Anna Szulc (Flex) for Crosswind by George Aperghis, the man who reinvented musical theatre. For their part, Flex presents the striking work Mes Béatitudes by the great French composer Gérard Pesson.
