Quatuor Esca

About

The artist

Quatuor Esca is a Montreal, Quebec string ensemble founded in 2004. Its current artist-controlled Bandcamp identifies Montreal as the quartet's base, while the current official site documents an active 2026 calendar in Montreal and across Quebec. The Conseil québécois de la musique independently lists Esca as a current member and describes the ensemble as a dynamic quartet founded in 2004. These current sources establish Montreal, Quebec, Canada as its public professional base. Esca's official site currently identifies violinists Amélie Lamontagne and Edith Fitzgerald and violist Sarah Martineau, with guest cellists joining according to the project. The quartet combines classical training with pop, contemporary, jazz, world, tango, urban, and screen-music work. Its official collaboration archive documents stage and studio work with artists across Quebec and Canada.
