Montréal is unarguably Canada’s party city. You wanna take a kayak to work, then you go to Vancouver. You wanna get rich off oil money, you go to Calgary. You wanna burn off the blahs of everyday life and party like the sun might not rise, you come to Montréal. Clearly the key ingredient to every party city is the ability to host a good party. I don’t want to brag, but we seem to have mastered the “epic party.” Between Resolution, The Jazz Festival, Divers/Cité, Black & Blue, and the weekly Piknic Électronik, we barely have time to bake our delicious French patisseries.

But any music fan worth their salt has to recognize the incredible complexity, scope and beauty of the genre. Or, at the very least, allow themselves to be swept away by hearing it performed by professionals in a sublime setting. This is what the Montreal Bach Festival offers the city from November 21st to December 5th…
