Unfamiliar Trails Coming Together Concerts

Unfamiliar Trails Coming Together Concerts take place in September 2026 and culminate in the premieres and reprised works of contemporary music by renowned ensembles: Quasar Saxophone Quartet (Montreal), Cicchillitti and Cowan guitar duo, or CC Duo (Sackville/Montreal), and the Musaeus String Quartet (Lethbridge).

Experience the performances of music by Canadian composers, including a rising star in Indigenous Classical, and composer-technologists who push the boundaries of electronic art music via digital lutherie, live electronics, and audio spatialisation.

Unfamiliar Trails provides an opportunity for a powerful and cohesive nexus – trails coming together from across Canada, permitting Canadian artists to establish and strengthen their bonds, to increase familiarity with one another, and to be recognised.
