Montréal Guitare Trio – described by the CBC as the "hottest" guitar ensemble in Canada – returns to The ACT Mainstage for the Season Closing Performance.
Described by the CBC as the “hottest” guitar ensemble in Canada, MG3 has quickly established itself as a force to be reckoned with, as well as an interactive force in various musical forms. For over 20 years, the trio’s virtuosity, rigor, creativity and impressive stage presence — where humour and interacting with the public go hand in hand — have been winning over audiences around the world and have led them to noteworthy collaborations. For the very first time, guitarists Sébastien Deshaies, Glenn Levesque and Marc Morin present a vibrant tribute to the music of Ennio Morricone, their most beloved composer.
With 7 albums to their credit, the Opus Award-winning trio has performed hundreds of concerts in some of the most prestigious venues across North America, Europe, New Zealand and Australia, including the legendary Concertgebouw in Amsterdam and the BB King Blues Club in New York City.
“If there has ever been a more rapturous reception to a set than the one which greeted the Montreal Guitar Trio’s first number, their take on El Paso, then I have not witnessed it. They created an instant, electrifying atmosphere which the band sustained throughout the evening, building again and again on the energy of the audience. There were whoops, whistles and a thundering applause which did not seem to lessen in intensity as the repertoire progressed. Indeed, not many performers can cause members of the audience to stand up to applause the first number.”
