Baroque Brilliance in the Chapel – March 14
Twisted Pearl

• Twisted Pearl is a Montreal-based ensemble made up of young string instrumentalists and composers, specializing in the performance of 18th-century music as well as the creation of original works inspired by historical styles, primarily composed by the ensemble’s members. Our vision is to make this music more accessible and enjoyable for a wide audience.
