26th season of Les Boréades: an inspired return to normal (or almost)

By Hassan Laghcha on 8 October 2021 Baroque and Early, Chamber Music

Les Boréades de Montréal will return to normal – or almost – with a season of four programs. One is based on Mozart’s youthful opera arias, another on Bach brevis masses. There are two intimate concerts: flute duets traversing the classical period and works of French chamber music from the end of the reign of Louis XIV. “We are making our comeback with the same excitement and inventiveness,” says Francis Colpron, founder and artistic director of the ensemble. He hopes that the public will be at the Église Saint-Laurent on Oct. 29 to savour the opera arias of Mozart’s youth.…

Bourgie Hall: the beginnings

By Justin Bernard on 10 September 2021 Baroque and Early, Chamber Music, Classical

Well established today in the cultural landscape of Montreal, Bourgie Hall was not always a setting for concerts and music making.

Through its evolution and transformations, this place bears invaluable witness to the fate of the various anglophone Protestant communities that were established in downtown Montreal, in the district known as…

Set in the heart of a hilly landscape, Saint-Camille is a dynamic village that thrives on both culture and agriculture. It now has two performance spaces: the P’tit Bonheur and the Centre Le Camillois, the latter of which hosts the Concerts de la Chapelle. We met the managing director of Destination Saint-Camille, a cooperative founded in 2015 that has taken over the management of the old village church, which has been transformed into a multipurpose centre.
