Avi Avital live in Montreal

Experience Avi Avital live on February 12th

Avi Avital is scheduled to perform at the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Montréal on February 12, 2027. Avital is a highly regarded mandolin virtuoso, known for expanding the instrument’s repertoire beyond its traditional folk and classical roots. His performances frequently incorporate arrangements of works originally composed for other instruments – including Bach, Vivaldi, and Scarlatti – alongside contemporary compositions written specifically for him. He is recognized for a dynamic and expressive playing style that blends technical precision with emotional depth, aiming to showcase the mandolin as a concert instrument capable of nuanced artistry.

The Musée des Beaux-Arts de Montréal, founded in 1899, is the oldest art museum in Canada. Its collections encompass a wide range of works spanning various periods and cultures, including Canadian and international art, archaeological artifacts, decorative arts, and graphic arts. The museum complex comprises five pavilions: the Michal and Renata Hornstein Pavilion (the original building), the Claire and Marcel Desmarais Pavilion, the Max and Iris Stern Pavilion, the Jean-Noël Desmarais Pavilion, and the temporary exhibitions space at Place Jean-Claude Malenfant.
