Colin Stetson live in Montreal

Experience Colin Stetson live on September 11th

Colin Stetson will perform at Théâtre Outremont in Montreal, Quebec on September 11, 2026. Stetson is a saxophonist and composer known for his intensely physical and virtuosic solo performances. His music blends elements of jazz, experimental music, drone, and free improvisation, often utilizing circular breathing and extended techniques to create dense, layered soundscapes that can evoke both primal energy and meditative stillness. He frequently performs solo with a modified saxophone, employing effects processing to create the illusion of multiple instruments.

Théâtre Outremont is a historic venue located in the Outremont borough of Montreal. Originally constructed in 1926 as a cinema named the Rex, it was designed by architect Eugène Goethals. The building operated as a cinema for several decades before being repurposed as a theatre in 1988. It underwent significant renovations in 2003-2004, restoring many of its original Art Deco features while modernizing its technical capabilities. The theatre is now a prominent venue for performing arts including theatre, dance, and music performances, hosting both local and international artists.
