The quintet of singer Amirtha Kidambi, the Ahmed Quartet with pianist Pat Thomas, the trio of saxophonist Darius Jones, John Oswald and his Plunderphonics, harpist Sarah Pagé and No Hay Banda, the string ensemble of violinist Josh Zubot, the trio of saxophonist Yves Charuest, countertenor Eric Chenaux and his experimental soul, the trio of French saxophonist Sakina Abdou—these are just a few of the 25 different programs presented at the upcoming Festival International de Musique Actuelle de Victoriaville (FIMAV), which begins this Monday, May 11, and concludes this Sunday, May 17. As it has done since its launch in 2020, PAN M 360 continues its coverage of FIMAV and offers several interviews this week. We begin with an interview with artistic director Scott Thomson, who is in his third consecutive year at the helm, including a second edition hampered by reduced organizational resources following a more arduous than anticipated transition of power. All that is behind us now, and Scott Thomson beams with pride as he discusses his 2026 programming.
