Montreal-Hannover: A concert presented within the framework of Résonance Croisée (Part II), a project of residencies and musical creations developed by Le Vivier group, co-produced with Quasar and the Quatuor Bozzini.

Montreal-Hannover reflects a creative dialogue, an exchange, between Quasar, the Quatuor Bozzini and the musicians of ur.werk and Flex Ensemble from Hannover. For the event, works were commissioned from Canadian and German composers by each of the ensembles, and now, over two evenings during which a Montreal ensemble and a Hannoverian ensemble will be performing on stage each night, Montreal-Hannover promises to be an innovative and enriching cultural communion of contemporary Canadian and German music...for musicians, composers and the public. Following the two concerts taking place in Montreal, Quasar and the Quatuor Bozzini will renew their partnership with UrWerk and Flex Ensemble on the other side of the Atlantic in May 2022, to continue this exciting collaboration.
