WHAT DISTINGUISHES THIS FESTIVAL
The Montreal Chamber Music Festival now in its 22nd season presents a richly diverse program featuring extraordinary artists from around the world and at home in Canada. Taking place in the very best concert halls, the MCMF is a renowned ambassador of Montreal's international profile as City of Festivals.
FESTIVAL HIGHLIGHTS
Founder and Artistic Director Denis Brott has featured the music of Beethoven in the Montreal Chamber Music Festival’s 22nd Season, anchored by the performance of the complete Beethoven string quartets over six concerts by the extraordinary Dover Quartet, which has “enjoyed a rise to the top [that] looks practically meteoric” (Strings Magazine). The festival is preceded by a three-concert “Prestige Series” with Canadian pianist Jan Lisiecki, a world premiere by Yoav Talmi, the Israeli Chamber Project, the Rolston String Quartet, and jazz performances by Rémi Bolduc, Robi Botos, and Natalie MacMaster. Additional highlights: the first Montreal performance by the winners of the 2016 Banff International String Quartet Competition (BISQC), the Rolston Quartet; the Quebec premiere of Zosha di Castri’s First String Quartet; and a performance of Mendelssohn’s Octet by the Dover Quartet (2013 winners of BISQC) and the Rolston Quartet, on stage together for the first time! A total of 43 events, at all times of day.
