I Musici de Montréal is a chamber orchestra that has carved out a unique niche within Canada's vibrant classical music scene. Established in 1983 by cellist and conductor Yuli Turovsky, the ensemble quickly earned acclaim for its passionate and spirited performances. Based in Montreal, the group's repertoire spans a wide range, focusing on both the exploration of lesser-known works and the fresh interpretation of classic pieces. Their versatility is showcased through a discography that includes arrangements of notable compositions, such as a rendition of Prokofiev's "Romeo and Juliette" for viola and string orchestra, alongside contemporary works like Arvo Pärt's "Symphonie No. 4, 'Los Angeles'".

Through their recordings and performances, I Musici de Montréal demonstrates a commitment to dynamic musical exploration and excellence. Their recent projects include sophisticated interpretations of Tchaikovsky's "Souvenir de Florence" and innovative arrangements like Schoenberg's orchestral versions of string quartets. This ability to navigate both the depth and breadth of the classical repertoire, from Richard Strauss's "Metamorphosen" to John Corigliano's "Symphony No. 2", exemplifies the ensemble's adaptive and adventurous spirit. Their dedication to a diverse range of music, combined with their lush, cohesive sound, has solidified I Musici de Montréal’s reputation as one of the premier chamber orchestras on the international stage.
