Since 1999, the Bozzini Quartet has been an original voice in new, contemporary, experimental and classical music. Their skew is radically contemporary, propelling the hyper-creative Montreal scene, and beyond. Not content to parlay received wisdom, the quartet cultivates an ethos of risk-taking, and boldly venture off the beaten track. With rigorous qualitative criteria, they have nurtured a vastly diverse repertoire, unbiased by the currents of fashion.This has led to over a hundred and thirty commissioned pieces, as well as close to two hundred other premiered works. A Bozzini Quartet concert is an art happening, with meticulous and sensuous attention to detail. To ensure continual development in their art, the quartet’s annual musical laboratory, the Composer’s Kitchen, works to mentor and support new generations of composers. The Bozzini Quartet records under its own label, the collection qb, and can be heard regularly on European and Canadian radio.

Sound Bites is a brand new fundraising campaign to replace the Yukon Arts Centre theatre’s antiquated sound system. Although the existing sound system has served the theatre well over the past two decades, new technologies and YAC’s ongoing commitment to its enthusiastic audiences and talented user groups necessitates this vital upgrade. Each year 30,000 people of all ages (including some who come more than once) attend about 170 music, dance, film, theatre, multi-media, spoken word, festivals and other performing arts and cultural events at the Yukon Arts Centre, presented by 40 Yukon and Whitehorse arts organizations. Foundation volunteers have a goal to work with you – our valued community partners – to raise $90,000 towards the purchase of new state-of-the-art audio equipment. We look forward to reaching this milestone and celebrating the sweet sounds of success with you!
