This Saturday December 6th, I will be in Montreal for the “Forum des Fabricants” – an exhibition of contemporary violins, violas, cellos and bows.

The exhibition and concerts will take place at Chapelle historique du Bon Pasteur at 100 Sherbrook Street East.

The event is organized by the violin shop Wilder & Davis in Montreal. String players can try a range of instruments from across Canada and Europe in one venue. Most of these instruments will be on consignment with Wilder & Davis in December and January to allow players time to try them further.  I will be presenting one violin (Guarneri model) and one viola (16/1/4″ Andrea Guarneri model).

There will also be a concert at 2pm at the Chapelle historique du Bon Pasteur at 100 Sherbrook Street East, featuring Toronto and Montreal Symphony Concertmasters Jonathan Crow and Andrew Wan.

I look forward to meeting musicians and catching up with colleagues!
