Montreal is a European city in the heart of North America. With a foot on both sides of the Atlantic, it is a diverse, vibrant city, home to many festivals, great restaurants, micro-breweries, and warm, welcoming people—the largest French-speaking city in the Western Hemisphere. Hosted by the Association québécoise du cor and the Université de Montréal, IHS55 will be everything you like about horn and horn playing. With musicians attending from five continents, this rendez-vous is not to be missed.
