MG3 — Montréal Guitare Trio

Formed by three guitarists of unbridled energy and charisma, MG3 leads its audience in a special place where jazz and world music are entwined with gusto. Spiced by a wry sense of humor, its music exubes an irresistible energy and an overwhelming passion that will make you stamp furiously! The trio’s eclectic music takes listeners on a journey through the world’s many cultures — from the mysterious, exotic melodies of India to the hot rhythms of South America, Spain, the Balkans, the Orient, traditional Quebec and… Hollywood. Coming from a classical background, MG3 members also sing and write much of their material. Since it was founded at University of Montréal in 1998, MG3 has given hundreds of concerts in North America, Western and Eastern Europe, many of which have been recorded and broadcast by national networks such as CBC, Radio-France, BRAVO and Société Radio- Canada. In 2007, MG3 released its 3rd CD and had a very successful Prairie Tour in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The trio also made its debut in Danemark, New Zealand, and performed last September at the legendary Concertgebouw in Amsterdam.

What the media says…

“The Montreal Trio’s guitars know no limits. They journey along with brio from jazz to classical music, from India to Canada. The Ussac Church has been swept away on the thunder of their strings!” — La Montagne, France, August 2003

“…they delivered loads of infectious good humour and some solid ensemble playing that skirted the four corners of the musical world.” — Bill Rankin, Edmonton Journal, May 2004
