La Fab sur Mill
Founded in 1994, Phantasm is a Berlin-based viol consort (viol: a renaissance-era precursor to the modern family of stringed instruments) that has garnered many accolades and awards for their 20 albums and groundbreaking performances worldwide. We are excited to welcome them to the Gatineau Hills in partnership with Collines-en-musique as part of their Canadian tour. The program they’ll present features music by J.S. Bach originally written for keyboard, but reimagined by Phantasm for four viols. Hearing keyboard music re-cast for stringed instruments is a little bit like watching a black and white movie in colour – the images are the same, but the coloration dramatically alters how you perceive it.

Venturing Hills Farm
After a hugely successful first edition, PanAmericana returns for its second year. This time, accordionist Matti Pulkki joins clarinetist Juan Olivares, guiding the audience through repertoire from across North, Central, and South America.

Venturing Hills Farm
Join mezzo-soprano Allyson McHardy and pianist Carson for a powerful and evocative recital that explores the many faces of winter through song. Anchoring the program is the world premiere of Winter Songs, a newly commissioned 20-minute cycle by acclaimed Ottawa-based composer Robert Rival, set to six vivid poems by Canadian poet Marjory Pickthall.
Collines-en-musique is an organization dedicated to championing innovative chamber music projects in the Outaouais region.
With a mission to make classical music accessible to a wider audience, our focus is on two ongoing concert series — Café Enchanté and Pontiac Enchanté, directed by pianist Dr. Carson Becke — and Festival Collines-en-musique, an annual chamber music festival co-directed by clarinetist Juan Gabriel Olivares and soprano Meghan Lindsay.
Collines-en-musique regularly welcomes local, national, and international artists to perform in unique venues across the region.
