Events Description
Born in Vietnam Huu Bac moved to Canada as a child. He went on to study music in Montreal, at McGill University, focusing on jazz guitar and then discovered Vietnamese monochord, the Dan Bau, under the guidance of master Pham Duc Thanh. He went on to study a number of different and unique instruments.
From 2009 to 2015, he collaborated twice with the Cirque du Soleil, recording for the shows Totem and Toruk. He also recorded for Canotgraphie, a show by artistic director Robert Lepage.

In 2013, he founded the Huu Bac Quintet, which has since toured in Canada, the USA, China and Korea.
