To celebrate its 30th anniversary, the Quasar saxophone quartet invites you to an exceptional screening of its digital triptych of art films.

Alongside long-time collaborators and friends, Quasar will unveil three works by Quebec composers set to images in three art films, accompanied by documentaries directed by Simon Roberge. On the program:

• Ode au Métal by Sonia Paço-Rocchia
• Chaleurs by Walter Boudreau
• Entre Nous by Thierry Tidrow

This digital triptych is the result of several years of work. Quasar wanted to create a digital heritage of ephemeral works and make them accessible to a wider audience. To do so, the quartet has surrounded itself with a team of talented designers who have put all their know-how at the service of this ambitious project.

This event will take place in the friendly setting of the Vivier. Screenings will be interspersed with moments of sharing, refreshing breaks, and surprises. Entries and exits are free, to accommodate everyone’s schedules.
