In 1994, Innovations en concert was founded by composer and guitarist Tim Brady to support diversity in the creation of new chamber music by presenting and promoting concerts, special events, and other activities. Twenty-six seasons later, this goal seems as relevant as ever. Under the direction of Isak Goldschneider, we continue to serve musicians and audiences alike by facilitating contact between artists, giving musicians an opportunity to create music which uses unusual groupings and settings, and stimulating the composition of new works. Recent performances included such operas and opera-adjacent works as Jennifer Walshe's XXX_LIVE_NUDE_GIRLS!!!, Kaie Kellough and Jason Sharp's Fronds, and Thierry Tidrow's Manifeste Assi , featuring poet Natasha Kanapé Fontaine.

Through our activities, we are convinced that we can provide unique, life-changing artistic experiences. We can inspire existing audiences and draw in new ones through adventurous programming and informed, relevant presentation. In addition to acting as a cultural partner in Montreal, the province of Quebec, and Canada, we strive to develop a role in the international community in the support of new artistic practices and discourse. Our mission: to expand horizons and bridge worlds.
