twisted pearl

1$ CONCERT • 17$ SUGGESTED DONATION • BEVERAGES AVAILABLE

the informal “salon” gatherings of enlightenment europe, which were a haven for music, learning, and friendship, need not be a relic of the 18th century. we at twisted pearl, dedicated to reviving the salon environment in montréal, know that a consistent flow of new music is an integral part of sustaining a living creative community. therefore, being peppered with skilled composers who regularly include their pieces in our programs, we’re happy to host as our last show of the season “terminus montréal,” our annual season finale.

this show, which won 3rd place in early music vancouver’s 2025 emerging artists competition, early music vancouveris reserved entirely for contemporary music composed in various historically informed styles by composers in montréal’s historically informed composition scene.

this concert will feature the winning piece from twisted pearl’s first annual annual international competition for historically informed composition (ICHIC) , the only competition of its type in the world, which exists to encourage the discipline of historically informed composition in young composers from diverse backgrounds.

terminus montréal is both an ending and a new beginning for us. though we get a little nostalgic because it’s our last concert of the year, we’re prepared to return in the new year with fresh tunes that represent the living tradition we live to share with you! relax, have a glass of wine, and experience the bright future of music with us.

musique par BREANA MCCULLOUGH, VINCENT CANCIELLO, TIMOTHY HOLMAN, CONOR LYONS, et plus !
