Directed by Bernard Hébert during confinement, this previously unreleased piece by Tim Brady is the second original audiovisual production from PAN M 360, under the banner of SESSIONS 360. Composed during this strange period of forced human cohabitation with COVID-19, “Uncertain Impact” highlights the talents of four socially distanced virtuosos – Tim Brady, Jonathan Barriault, Simon Duchesne and Francis Brunet-Turcotte. “‘Uncertain Impact’”, says its composer, “is about moving forward and working together, finding harmony and resolving tension, in the face of uncertainty.”

Le Quartier des Spectacles is slowly coming back to life! This Saturday, July 11, marks the return of the Dômesicle evenings at the SAT. These events take place in a hybrid format (webcast and also live in the Satosphere dome, with a limit of 50 people admitted) every Saturday from July 11 to August 29, presenting a total of more than 40 artists. R&B, pop, electro, and neo-soul are on the table this Saturday. On this first night, co-presented with Hot Tramp, Montreal women are in the spotlight. On the program: Magi Merlin, Forever, Janette King, Maryze, Hua Li, and Softcoresoft. Visuals by Sean C. and Alex Vlair will add to the night’s bewitching frequencies. You can watch not only the live performances, but also the interviews conducted by PAN M 360.
