The RADAR Series, presented by M for Montreal and Mundial Montréal in collaboration with QUB musique, concluded last week in a festive atmosphere!
This series of events, in its inaugural edition this year, allowed the general public to discover the cream of emerging talent while also helping local artists gain a platform for professionalizing their careers. Through a professional component, presented in collaboration with Les Rendez-vous de L’ADISQ, Montreal artists and professionals were able to connect based on common interests.
RADAR’s team was honored to present the very first cohort of artists in the lineup, selected through an open call for applications from local and Canadian artists.
Throughout numerous showcase performances open to the general public, 18 artists and groups took the stage at the Ministère, where RADAR established its headquarters for the entire series in the form of a bi-monthly double event.

We also invite you to share your feedback on this first edition. Whether you are an artist or a member of their team, an industry member or a participant, we want to hear from you!
Our events were presented in collaboration with numerous partners without whom none of this would have been possible.
With the support of our media partners (CISM, CHOQ.ca, Le Canal Auditif, panm360, Sors-tu), we were able to learn more about promising artists and they had the chance to be featured in new tribunes.
The support of SODEC, QUB musique, Les Rendez-vous de l’ADISQ and SOCAN was also essential in the realization of our events.
