Orford Six Pianos
Seeking to renew the concert experience by presenting the grand classical repertoire in a particularly dynamic light, the Orford Six Pianos ensemble continues to captivate audiences. Founded in 2006, the group showcases both original works written for the formation and transcriptions of well-known orchestral pieces.

Comprising six virtuosic and complementary artists — Sandra Murray, Claire Ouellet, Mariane Patenaude, Romain Pollet, Francis Perron, and Pamela Reimer — this unique ensemble presents concerts in Quebec and across Canada, earning both audience enthusiasm and critical acclaim. The pianists have performed repeatedly at the Orford Music Festival, as well as at various other festivals including the Festival de Lanaudière, the Festival of the Sound in Parry Sound, and Music and Beyond, and have also shared the stage with the Quebec Symphony Orchestra.
