The Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts will mark what would have been Isabel Bader’s 100th birthday with a concert by Trio Hochelaga on Sunday, November 1, at 2:30 p.m.

Before the performance, guests are invited to gather in the lobby from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. for complimentary tea and treats. A slideshow featuring photographs and facts about Bader’s life will accompany the reception.

The concert features two piano trios by Beethoven and Triade, a work for violin, cello, and piano by the trio’s cellist, Dominique Beauséjour-Ostiguy. Beauséjour-Ostiguy was a semi-finalist in the 2020 Bader & Overton Canadian Cello Competition.
