Born from the collaboration desire of two childhood friends, both active musicians and artists involved in their communities, CASSIOPÉE breaks the codes that isolate the Quebec pop music scene from the sometimes mysterious world of classical music. The ensemble consists of 9 professional musicians driven by a common desire to integrate values of inclusion, openness, and critical thinking into our artistic practice.

CASSIOPÉE aims to facilitate the creation and artistic expression of all its members and collaborators by celebrating their uniqueness, talent, backgrounds, and ideals. This new space is intended to be a place for creative exchanges, encounters between different disciplines, and sharing with our audiences and communities.

CASSIOPÉE is committed to combating discrimination and oppression by engaging in self-criticism and reflection in its choices of works, composers, venues, and types of performances in order to promote respect, kindness, safety, and sharing in its community.
