The organization Code d’Acc\u00e8s has been around for 40 years in Montreal. Nevertheless, it is quite possible that you have not heard of it. That’s because his work, initially carried out by enthusiasts on a voluntary basis in the early years, and later professionalized, is focused on artists. Mentorship programs, career development assistance, etc. constitute a significant part of the activities. But there is of course a series of concerts and other public events, to which everyone is invited. And that too is important. Music lovers with adventurous ears can have exciting, surprising, and fascinating encounters there. On the occasion of Code d’Acc\u00e8s’s 40th anniversary and the launch of the 2025-2026 season accessible to the general public, I met with An Laurence, the organization’s Artistic Director (and also an artist and composer in experimental music), to talk to us about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
