Diana Ross – July 3+4, Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier

A true Diva if ever there was one, a showbiz icon and living legend, Diana Ross couldn’t have offered fans a better gift than this very first visit to the Festival. The personification of glamour right down to her fingertips, holder of a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, Diana’s repertoire is a musical odyssey spanning 50 years, from such Motown classics as Love Child to disco smash Love Hangover to the jazz of Lady Sings the Blues. Love it is!
