Music is everywhere! Noise Partout is a Montreal-based chamber music ensemble that seeks innovative ways to bring stories of relevance to new audiences, through classical music. Committed to social and environmental advocacy, to community engagement, and to multidisciplinary creation and collaboration, Noise Partout has been carving out its unique place in the Montreal music scene since 2020.
The Noise Partout trio consists of founding members Ellen Wieser (soprano) and Jean-Christophe Lizotte (cello), with Rebecca Klassen-Wiebe (piano), who joined the ensemble 2025-26 season. All three artists maintain active performance schedules throughout Canada and abroad and collaborate regularly in a variety of chamber music settings. 2025-26 season highlights for the ensemble include a series of community cultural mediation outings in collaboration with Montreal’s Rosemont – La Petite-Patrie borough, the creation of the Nightbird Lullaby music video with the support of the Schevchenko Foundation, and the Nightbird Lullaby Benefit for Ukraine concert in Montreal, a co-production with Le 9e and the Canada-Ukraine Foundation. Additional recent performance highlights have included recitals in Ormstown, Quebec, and at Montreal’s Sans-Souvlaki Summer Concert Series, as well as tours with La SAMS (Société des arts en milieu de la santé), and with Ensemble ArtVocal’s Mini-Concerts Santé.
Noise Partout has previously received funding and in-kind support from The Schevchenko Foundation, the Canada Council for the Arts, Le 9e Productions, and Montreal’s network of Maisons de la culture (cultural hubs in the boroughs of Rosemont – La Petite-Patrie and Janine-Sutto). The trio has commissioned new works from Massimo Guida and Nathalie Boisvert (La dernière nuit, 2025), filmmakers Oleksandr Shylov and Anna Shylova-Kolomiets (Nightbird Lullaby video, 2025), illustrator Chloé Baillargeon (La maison qui chant/The Singing House colouring page, 2025), Airat Ichmouratov and Bertrand Laverdure (Nocturne, 2023), Anna Pidgorna and Maria Reva (Nightbird Lullaby, 2023), and Parisa Sabet (Goodnight Moon, 2023). In addition to working closely with creators throughout Canada, the trio has created several original arrangements of pre-existing art and folk songs. By combining brand-new works with existing soprano, cello and piano repertoire, and fresh new arrangements of beloved classics, Noise Partout’s musical programs compel and transport audiences of all ages and backgrounds.
Noise Partout was founded and currently operates on the unceded territory of the Kanien’keha:ka (Mohawk), a place which has long served as a site of meeting and exchange amongst nations. It is our privilege to pursue this dialogue amongst nations through music creation and performance. Noise Partout acknowledges that we are located on a land that has been the site of human creativity and story-telling for thousands of years, and we are thankful to be able to create, collaborate, play, and work here.
