collectif9

The string nonet collectif9 is known for programs and recordings featuring innovative arrangements and for novel cross-genre collaborations. The group was signed to the major label Alpha in 2021. Collectif9 began performing in 2011. Its members are Thibault Bertin-Maghit, bass; Chloé Chabanole, violin; Scott Chancey, viola; Jérémie Cloutier, cello; John Corban, violin; Yubin Kim, violin; Xavier Lepage-Brault, viola; Robert Margaryan, violin; TJ Skinner, violin; and Andrea Stewart, cello. The 2015-2016 season proved a breakthrough for the group as it spent the end-of-year holidays in China and also toured Ontario, Quebec, and New Brunswick. In 2015, collectif9 released its first album, Volksmobiles, featuring folk-oriented works by Brahms, Bartók, Schnittke, and André Gagnon, along with the world premiere of the title work, by composer Geof Holbrook. During the 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 seasons, collectif9 appeared across Canada as well as at the Classical:NEXT festival in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, along the U.S. West Coast, and as far afield as South Korea. In 2018, the group recorded its second album, No Time for Chamber Music, featuring chamber arrangements of music by Mahler. That year, collectif9 also created, in collaboration with Architek Percussion, the multi-disciplinary show My Backyard, Somewhere, with texts by Kaie Kellough and music by various composers; the show has toured throughout Canada and was presented at the Winnipeg New Music Festival in 2019. The ensemble has performed at such international venues as La Folle journée de Nantes in France, China's Shenzhen Concert Hall, and Sound Unbound at the Barbican Centre in London. In Mexico, collectif9 has collaborated with DJ Gabriel Prokofiev, while back home in Canada, it joined the indie band Yes We Mystic for a concert at Winnipeg's Big Fun Festival. During the coronavirus pandemic in 2020 and 2021, collectif9 presented "film-concerts," including Rituaels, featuring dancer Stacey Désilier, and The Night of the Flying Horses, joining Romani music of several centuries with music by Osvaldo Golijov. In 2021, collectif9 was signed to Alpha, which reissued No Time for Chamber Music. In December of that year, the group was slated to release the new film-concert Vagues et ombres, simultaneously an ode to water and an homage to the music of Debussy, which incorporated a new work by Luna Pearl Woolf.
