About of
5ilience
In recent years, 5ilience [si-li-ən-s] has been dedicated to creating spaces for wonder and dialogue by sharing the unique repertoire of the reed quintet and collaborating with emerging and established composers from the classical, pop, contemporary, and jazz worlds. Founded in 2022 by bold young artists, we are the very first reed quintet in Quebec. In all our projects, it is important for us to share what we consider the essence of contemporary creation, marked by curiosity, experimentation, a sense of togetherness, co-creation, and fluidity.

In the first part, 5ilience, Quebec’s first reed quintet, offers a program full of contrasts with works by Nico Muhly, Niloufar Nourbakhsh, Ufuk Biçak, and Abraham Gómez. Thanks to a unique combination of reed instruments, 5ilience has developed a sound palette that is as versatile as it is original.
