Montreal's Collectif9 Releases NO TIME FOR CHAMBER MUSIC
Montreal's trailblazing 9-piece classical string band, collectif9 releases its sophomore album featuring music by and inspired by Gustav Mahler. Satirical and serious, frivolous and intense, No Time for Chamber Music delves into rich and complex musical textures with original and intimate arrangements. A contemporary classical ensemble that embraces a pop music attitude, collectif9 is known for its energized, innovative arrangements of classical repertoire, along with lighting and staging more commonly seen from rock bands. Since its 2011 debut, collectif9 has introduced a new age in genre-bending classical performance to more than 100 venues across North America, Europe, and Asia. "The talented group of friends doesn't spare any effort to achieve their ultimate goal," says ICI Musique, "to allow everyone to participate in the utter joy of classical music, initiated or not."
