ContaQt combines 21st-century new-classical and experimental music with the sensibilities of rock and jazz to form a hybrid chamber ensemble that defies genres. Praised by the Globe and Mail as “thought-provoking” and “highly entertaining”, and by the New York Times as “mesmerizing” ContaQt has premiered works by emerging and established Canadian and international composers and has performed at venues and new music festivals around the world.
