The Huu Bac Quintet, led by Montreal-based composer and multi-instrumentalist Huu Bac Quach, blends Vietnamese, Chinese and Andean traditions with the spirit of contemporary jazz, creating a refined and deeply expressive sound world where heritage meets innovation and music becomes a bridge between cultures. Joined by exceptional musicians from Montreal’s vibrant jazz scene, Huu Bac crafts compositions of striking beauty and emotional resonance. With masterful command of the dan bau (Vietnamese monochord), erhu (Chinese fiddle), quena (andean flute) and guitar, he invites audiences into a universe where ancestral timbres and modern creativity intertwine. More than a concert, the Huu Bac Quintet offers a thoughtful and authentic musical encounter between Asian, North and South American traditions — an experience that crosses borders with elegance and leaves a lasting resonance.
