Production Quasar
A jewel to celebrate its crystal anniversary: the Quasar saxophone quartet treats itself to a “tailor-made” Tremblay work to mark its 15th year of music making. As a tribute to the composer, the musicians of Quasar are taking Tremblay with them on their tour across Canada, along with a programme that includes three other commissions… Catch up with them during their stop over in Montreal!

Commission: Quasar, with support from the CALQ
Acclaimed for its energy, daring, and technical prowess, Quasar has been entirely devoted to premiering and promoting contemporary music since 1994.
The SMCQ has been moving in step with the lively rhythms of new music for over forty-five years. With its regular concert season, its Série hommage (Homage Series), an international festival, and a young listener’s programme, the society has served both as a platform for today’s composers and as a window on creative works for everyone.
