Let’s Sow Beauty (ou Sowing beauty), a theme that does not wither, infuses its spirit on the season's programming again this year. It is also an invitation to a wonderful journey through time and around the world to offer you a privileged space of encounters with the artists and to share and magnify the music.  The Cartes blanches series, inaugurated last year, is under the artistic direction of Irina Krasnyanskaya. 

The Cartes Blanches series, offers beautiful encounters with the great classics - Rachmaninoff, Mendelssohn, Dvorak, Franck - but also with lesser-known music, mostly written by renowned composers who are only now being discovered: Clara Schumann, Amy Beach, Louise Farrenc, Vítězslava Kaprálová and Jessie Montgomery. This series gives the magnificent New Orford String Quartet and four exceptional pianists, Stéphane Lemelin, Angela Park, Philip Chiu and Ilya Poletayev, the opportunity for unforgettable performances at the Phi Center in Montreal.
