We are back home in Montreal after a week of intense exchanges, concerts and creations in the UK. Thank you to all the composers whose work contributed to this tour: Cassandra Miller, Paul Newland, Laurence Crane, Linda Smith, James Weeks, Leo Chadburn, Scott Wilson, and John Woolrich. We had a blast!

We were happy to be among the Guardian's top 4 "classical concerts to see" of the week, and grateful to Andrew Clements for his 4-star review of our concert at the University of Birmingham.
