I’ve never been to Montréal before, but I’ve got the best of reasons to go next week:

Philip Thomas and the Bozzini Quartet will be playing a number of concerts over the next couple of weeks (individually or together) in Victoria, Vancouver, Montréal, and Toronto.

Laurence Crane, Bryn Harrison, Michael Oesterle, and Cassandra Miller are among the composers being performed who will also be in attendance. There’s a whole lot of other music to look forward to as well.

Innovations en concert is also presenting a Score Reading Club in advance of the Thursday and Friday Montréal events.

The first of these concerts is tonight.
