Murray Schafer, Caroline Shaw, Webern, Ligeti, and a world premiere by Rose Bolton, discover a wide-reaching exploratory programme sustained by the repetitive bass lines characteristic of the passacaglia.

About collectif9
Known for their innovative programming and unique arrangements of classical repertoire, Montreal string ensemble collectif9 performs “with an infectious energy and vigour that grabs an audience’s attention” (The WholeNote). Since their 2011 debut, collectif9 has performed numerous concerts across North America, Europe, and Asia. As performers of classical and contemporary music, the ensemble combines the power of an orchestra with the agility of a chamber ensemble. collectif9 operates on the premise that a change of context can influence communication and experience.
collectif9 is grateful to the arts councils of Montreal, Quebec, and Canada, and to FACTOR for their continued financial support, but also to their local and Canadian community, thanks to whom our governments ensure support for the arts, an essential investment for the quality of our lives.
