Harrington, May 26, 2026 – From 28 June to 16 August, the CAMMAC Music Centre will host a new edition of the Musical Sundays Concert Series. Every Sunday throughout the summer, world-class artists will take the stage in an intimate, welcoming hall that boasts stunning views of Lake MacDonald. The season’s eight concerts will showcase a wide range of musical styles, from Argentine tango and early music to string quartets, world music, jazz, Latin American guitar, and vocal repertoire.

Situated in the heart of the Laurentians, CAMMAC invites visitors to slow down and make a day of it. After the performance, guests can enjoy a generous brunch overlooking the lake, then spend the afternoon by the water, walking in the forest, or hiking the surrounding trails.

Located just 90 minutes from Montreal, 30 minutes from Mont-Tremblant, and two hours from Ottawa, CAMMAC stands out as a premier summer cultural destination where great music meets the great outdoors.

Programme for the 2026 Edition:

Sunday June 28 – 11 a.m.
Stradivatango
Denis Plante (bandoneón) and Stéphane Tétreault (cello)
Denis Plante and Stéphane Tétreault bring tango’s full emotional world to the stage, exploring Argentine classics alongside works composed for their duo. Passion, virtuosity, and a constant quest for authenticity define a performance that moves between intimate stillness and explosive energy.

Sunday July 5 – 11 a.m.
The Passion of Reason
Les Boréades de Montréal
Francis Colpron (recorders, musical direction), Femke Bergsma (recorders), Vincent Lauzer (recorders), Margaret Little (viola da gamba) and Marie-Laurence Primeau (recorders, viola da gamba)
Les Boréades presents a nuanced and energetic exploration of early music through the consort tradition, gathering instruments of the same family across the full sonic range. Viol and recorder consorts perform refined repertoire alongside expressive dance forms such as pavanes and galliards, with striking contrasts and a contemporary perspective woven throughout. In partnership with Music and Beyond.

Sunday July 12 – 11 a.m.
Silk Road Journals: Echoes from East to West
Annette Bauer (sarod, recorders, duduk, tabor) and Ran Wang (guzheng)
Ran Wang and Annette Bauer trace a path along the Silk Road, drawing on traditions reaching from ancient China to 15th-century Renaissance Italy, by way of India. Inspired by the physical and emotional landscapes that an imagined traveler might encounter along the way, this musical voyage unfolds as a conversation between the sounds of their instruments and the rich resonances of their strings, leaving space for improvisation and the exploration of the unknown.

Sunday July 19 – 11 a.m.
Youth and Genius: Schubert & Ravel
Quatuor Cobalt
Guillaume Villeneuve (violin), Diane Bayard (violin), Clément Bufferne (viola) and François Leclerc (cello)
Quatuor Cobalt presents two early works that reveal composers at the threshold of their distinctive voices: Schubert’s Quartet No. 10 and Ravel’s Quartet in F major. Written nearly a century apart, both quartets show composers experimenting with ideas that would come to define their later work.

Sunday July 26 – 11 a.m.
Echoes of Peace: Cello and Harp
Annabelle Renzo (harp) and Julian Armour (cello)
Annabelle Renzo and Julian Armour explore a richly varied repertoire that moves through the meditative clarity of Arvo Pärt, the rhythmic pulse of Philip Glass, alongside works by Villa-Lobos, Saint-Saëns, and others. By turns contemplative, vibrant, and deeply resonant, this program reveals the remarkable range and colour of an exceptionally compelling instrumental pairing.

Sunday August 2 – 11 a.m.
The Wonders of Latin America
Michel Beauchamp (guitar)
South America has a rich musical tradition closely linked to the classical guitar. This is an opportunity to savor all its facets, some melancholic, others very danceable! You will hear the most beautiful guitar works from Mexico to Argentina, by way of the Caribbean and Brazil.

Sunday August 9 – 11 a.m.
A Night in the Garden of Eden
Guillaume Martineau (piano) and Gabriel Paquin-Buki (clarinet)
Guillaume Martineau and Gabriel Paquin-Buki bring remarkable versatility to a program that moves freely across musical traditions. Classical writing gives way to folk, jazz, klezmer, and original compositions, with Mediterranean colours and Latin rhythms finding their place alongside the sound world of Romantic Europe.

Sunday August 16 – 11 a.m.
For the Love of Music
Musaïque
Monique Fauteux, Kerry-Anne Kutz, Julie Leblanc and Catherine Léveillé
Performing together since 2023, the all-female vocal quartet Kerry-Anne Kutz, Julie Leblanc, Monique Fauteux, and Catherine Léveillé bring warmth and undeniable chemistry to the stage. They will perform an eclectic program of songs by Vigneault, Joni Mitchell, Sylvain Lelièvre, Daniel Lavoie, Shania Twain, Gino Vannelli, and others, with arrangements by their longtime collaborator Simon Leclerc.
