Concert – Tous Les Temps Perdus: Miriam Sekhon & Liza Miller

A Lifetime of Friendship in Song: From Cabaret to Modern Chanson

Miriam Sekhon and Liza Miller have known each other since childhood. They grew up in Moscow, side by side, long before music became an experience they would share on stage.

After the Russian invasion of Ukraine, they each left the country and, by chance, both found their way to Montreal.

Though they have been friends all their lives, it is here that they became musical partners, discovering in that closeness a new kind of comfort — something steady, instinctive, and deeply familiar.

For one evening, they turn the space into a piano bar — a salon moving through languages and the 20th century. The program drifts between jazz, chanson, and film music, carried by a natural ease, a quiet playfulness, and a stage presence rooted in trust. There is between them an understanding that rarely needs words.

Miriam has performed in theatre, film, and concert since the age of 16, across Moscow and Europe. Liza, trained in France, Moscow, and USA, is now a professor at McGill University and performs at festivals internationally.

This is an evening that feels lived-in, warm, intimate, a little like family, where music becomes a way of being together.
