The Pinedale Fine Arts Council is proud to present Montreal-based classical string ensemble collectif9 performing live Thursday, April 4 at 7:00 p.m. in the Sheppard (Pinedale) Auditorium.

Montreal’s cutting-edge classical string band collectif9 has been gathering steam since its 2011 debut, attracting diverse audiences in varied spaces.

[/vc_column_text][vc_separator][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Known for energized, innovative arrangements of classical repertoire, collectif9 employs lights, staging, and amplification more commonly seen at rock acts, and heralds a new age in genre-bending classical performance.

collectif9 has already performed over 100 concerts across North America, Europe, and Asia; from outdoor concerts at Canadian summer festivals, to winter tours in the north, to Christmas-time in China, the ensemble combines the power of an orchestra with the crispness of a chamber ensemble.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”230158″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_btn title=”Get Tickets” color=”orange” align=”center” button_block=”true” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fapp.arts-people.com%2Findex.php%3Fticketing%3Dpdfac||target:%20_blank|”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_cta h2=”” style=”outline”]Tickets for colectif9 are available online at pinedalefinearts.com and locally at:

Learning from the classical works that have influenced non-classical musicians and the structure of pop concerts, collectif9 looks for ways to break the stigma of inapproachability, searches for new ways of expression within the classical medium, and attempts to foster communication and collaboration between artists and within their community.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”230160″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Collectif9’s new show is built around their brand new album: No Time for Chamber Music expands upon the folk melodies and rhythms audiences have come to expect in a collectif9 performance, but integrates an ironic flavour, presenting serious material in playful or sarcastic contexts.

Works by Mahler, Ligeti, Gabriel Prokofiev, and others are transformed from their original form – often symphonic in nature – into chamber music for nine. These original arrangements feature textures and special instrumental effects that transport the listener out of the concert hall and into a world of fantasy and imagery.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
