Soaring Strings

This duo violin-violoncello amazes us with their virtuosity and by the original angle by which they present classical music. Joining a stage director, they transcend the usual visual and open an interesting door of accessibility for a younger public, little familiarized to this musical current. Alternating between acoustic and electric instruments, the duo takes part of the first steps of a new current which combines traditions and technologies, thus participating in the progression of their discipline.

Yadong Guan

Both through the exoticism and diversity of her musical repertoire and the artistic finesse of her performance, the Pipa concert offered by this virtuoso brings a special magic to the ear and soul of the listener. As a soloist in the traditional Chinese repertoire or as part of a duet or trio in original compositions or arrangement of classical composers, her
interpretations are sensitive, touching and mpelling. “Loaded with originality and personality - worth discovering.” ~ Le Canada-Francais Management: Danielle Lefebvre, Agence d’artistes

Joe Trio

Joe Trio is not your average piano trio, but that’s the whole point! Trio doesn’t wish to be neatly categorized. Instead they thrive on diversity, versatility and more than a little humour and unpredictability. Their repertoire consists of classics from Haydn to Shostakovich, new works by contemporary composers, and their own arrangements of popular, jazz and rock tunes. “Their playing is first class and their collective sense of humour  indispensable.” -

D, they weave intricate harmonies, sophisticated counterpoint and a down-home delivery with rich sensitive attention to detail.
