Warhol Dervish

chamber music collective

Warhol Dervish

Founded in 2007, the Montreal-based Warhol Dervish is an unorthodox chamber music collective, gathering together some of the most interesting and creative musicians in Canada. Pioneers and visionaries, Warhol Dervish is made up of early-music HIPsters, new music specialists, ardent 19th century romantics, pop collaborators, rockstar wannabes, meditators and yogis who seek to move the chamber music concert experience through the 21st century. Warhol Dervish actively seeks to blur the lines that separate classical music from other styles, to rehearse as would a band, to collaborate with improvisers, to actively seek alternative performance spaces, to collaborate with and learn from artists in other media. Highlights include performances at the Ottawa Chamber Music Festival, the Toronto Summer Music Festival, and the Festival International de Lanaudière, as well as a recent Maison de Culture tour of Yiddish music for voice and quartet with Socalled. Last season’s highlights include a five concert series dedicated to the last five string quartets of Ludwig van Beethoven at Montreal’s Theatre La Chapelle, and a national tour with Basia Bulat. The members of Warhol Dervish draw on their professional experience working with artists and playing in ensembles as diverse as Ensemble Caprice, Arion, Ensemble Kore, Paper Beats Scissors, Barr Brothers, Patrick Watson, Richard Reed Parry, Socalled, Suuns, Bradyworks, l’Ensemble de l’SMCQ, La La La Human Steps, Claude Lamothe, I Musici, and the OSM.
