Relaxing concerts to round out the weekend.

New this year: end your weekend on a gentle, beautiful note with intimate concerts, mostly instrumental or acoustic. Experienced musicians invite you to beat the Sunday blues by letting yourself drift into contemplation and discovery, as jazz, chamber music and bossa nova are played in a relaxing setting – perfect for one last al fresco evening before diving back into daily life.

BPM Gradient is a specialized battle format that centers on the relationship between speed and precision. While tempo naturally fluctuates in any exchange, this event removes the "safety net" of mid-tempo ranges by setting a minimum baseline of 130 BPM. The goal is to see how dancers maintain their clarity, phrasing, and musicality as the speed moves from fast to extreme.

SLAPPED is a Montreal-based record label fueled by raw creativity. With its warm textures, hypnotic beats, and sustained tempos, it embodies the best qualities of house music. The label draws on the genre’s heritage, from Chicago to Detroit, from Berlin to Ibiza, and filters it through the lens of a city that never stops dancing: Montreal.

Diwane , qui signifie « version », exprime son approche personnelle d’une fusion entre les rythmes du Maghreb et du Sahel, enrichis de sonorités contemporaines. Une célébration vivante de la musique, de la danse et des cultures africaines, où se rencontrent héritages anciens et créations actuelles.

Pour célébrer son 25e anniversaire, l’Orchestre de la francophonie réunira sur scène une cinquantaine de jeunes musiciennes et musiciens sur scène.

Le programme regroupe les mélodies envoûtantes de Carmen de Bizet, de Kaléidoscope , œuvre emblématique du compositeur québécois Pierre Mercure, et de la monumentale Symphonie du Nouveau Monde de Dvořák.
Un concert haut en couleur, porté par l’énergie et le souffle du grand répertoire symphonique, dirigé de main de maître par le chef d’orchestre Julien Proulx.
L’Orchestre de la francophonie est une académie orchestrale qui rassemble chaque été une cinquantaine de jeunes musiciennes et musiciens venus des quatre coins du monde. Pendant six semaines, dans une atmosphère à la fois stimulante et bienveillante, ces artistes de la relève sont guidés par des mentors chevronnés et vivent une immersion complète : répétitions, concerts, opéra en version concert, classes de maître, ateliers de création et conférences. Une expérience unique qui les prépare à occuper une place de premier plan au sein d’orchestres professionnels et à devenir des acteurs engagés d’un milieu culturel en constante évolution.
