Montreal Chamber Music Festival presents

Les Jeunes Virtuoses de Montréal

The Montreal Chamber Music Festival presents 25 free concerts by “Les Jeunes Virtuoses de Montréal” thanks to support from the City of Montréal, as part of its program to enliven downtown with festivals and events.

This exceptional program of concerts will bring together 15 of the more accomplished music program graduates from renowned Canadian music schools.

“The democratization of chamber music is a wonderful thing” says Mr. Brott. “Fans and musicians alike will revel in it and the unversed will experience a sensory and emotional event that they will never forget.”

From September 23rd to October 24th, 25 performances will be staged, free of charge, in iconic downtown Montreal venues such as the Oasis of St. James United Church, Christ Church Cathedral, Le Jardin d’art de BAnQ, la Bibliothèque des archives nationales du Québec, the square at Place-des-Arts and l’Amphithéâtre Pierre-Péladeau at Le Centre hospitalier de l’Université de Montréal (CHUM).

“It’s important to react to the constraints imposed by the pandemic by showcasing these talented musicians who have been kept apart for too long. Les Jeunes Virtuoses de Montréal will celebrate the city and the wonderful artists it nurtures”
– Artistic Director and Founder, Denis Brott

The high point of this stirring celebration of downtown Montreal will take place on October 18th at Salle Bourgie, Montréal Museum of Fine Arts (MMFA). Denis Brott, C.M., world renowned cellist, conductor, and Founder of the Montreal Chamber Music Festival, will present an evening of Beethoven and Schubert in the company of violinist Andrew Wan and Les Jeunes Virtuoses de Montréal. The performance will mark the launch of the Montreal Chamber Music Festival’s 26th season.
