The MONTREAL ORGAN CONSORT is possibly the world's largest ensemble of organists devoted entirely to music for multiple players. In January 2001, the group's members first joined forces in a recital at Christ Church Cathedral, performing music for four chamber organs requiring eight to sixteen hands. Continuing to explore the possibilities for this unusual genre, the MOC has collected a repertoire of works ranging from twelfth-century polyphony to music by some of today's foremost composers including György Ligeti, Steve Reich and Thomas Adès.
