Erreur de Type 27 is a new music production organization, presenting the majority of its events in Quebec City. Since 1999, E27 has offered its audience the chance to hear a variety of contemporary music through its well-crafted and geometrically variable concert scenarios.
 
Its programs feature seasoned musicians from the Quebec City region and composers from QC and elsewhere. They revolve around three main fields of action:
  • Quebec, Canadian or foreign creation;
  • exploration;
  • and the "great classics" of the twentieth and twenty-first century repertoire
