GENTIANE MG TRIO

“... her writing is phenomenally brilliant. She is a standout talent. Michaud-Gagnon’s music flows masterfully with poise and grace. She commands the piano with elegance, subtlety, and a refined quiet knowing” – Kerilie McDowall, All About Jazz

For Gentiane MG, music is first and foremost a powerful tool for expression that has allowed her to develop her own potent, imaginative and sensitive language. Alongside her long-time collaborators, bassist Levi Dover and drummer Louis-Vincent Hamel, she has created a rich universe that transcends genre and earned her numerous accolades, including the Radio-Canada Révélation Jazz Award in 2018, the OPUS Award for Discovery of the Year in 2020, and the François-Marcaurelle de la GMMQ Award.

Presented in concert since September 2022, her third album Walls Made of Glass (2022) was received with critical acclaim. “Her latest release showcases the full extent of her rare talent. Gentiane MG confirms her stature as a major artist. There is nothing glib, nothing faked, simply confident creativity.” (Keith Black, Winnipeg Free Press, 2022).

This concert invites the audience to become immersed in the composer’s universe, where the music evokes emotions inspired by moments experienced in the natural world, full of life and beauty. The trio showcases piano, double bass and drums, creating powerful imagery through music. It is a search for meaning through expressive and dynamic explorations.
