Described by the CBC as the "hottest" guitar ensemble in Canada, MG3’s virtuosity, rigour, creativity and impressive stage presence—where humour and audience interaction go hand in hand—have been winning over audiences around the world. The trio, composed of guitarists Marc Morin, Sébastien Dufour and Glenn Lévesque, has given hundreds of concerts in some of the most prestigious venues across North America, Europe, New Zealand and Australia, including the BB King Blues Club in New York, the Rundetårnet in Copenhagen, and the legendary Concertgebouw in Amsterdam.

Winner of the 2011 Opus Award for "concert of the year" in the Jazz / World Music category, MG3 has released six albums. Their most recent LP, Der Prinz (2014, Analekta) mixes originals with reinventions of contemporary classics by the likes of Radiohead, Jorane and Rush in a lush, technically-daunting mesh that draws influences from music around the globe.

"... Their debut in Germany was one of the most unforgettable events in the festival's history, both artistically and programme-wise. [...] The audience applauded and didn't quieten down until the event organiser had promised to engage the Montreal Guitar Trio again next year..."
- Klauss Ross, Bergsträßer Anzeiger – GERMANY
