Downtown choirs to brighten your Saturdays!
One of the most beautiful customs of the festive season, Holiday choirs, will be offered at Village_XP with a reinvented formula. In Downtown Montreal’s urban setting, singers invited by XP_MTL will be there to share the magic and animate cultural spaces on Sainte-Catherine Street!
Choirs on the program :
Sympholies Vocales – Saturday, November 30 : Sympholies vocales is a francophone choir from Montreal’s West Island made up of 40 choristers dedicated to classical music under the direction of Julie Dufresne.
Chœur Ciné-Jazz – Saturday, December 7 & 14 : In addition to joyfully performing Christmas favourites, the Chœur Ciné-Jazz is one of the few Quebec ensembles devoted to the music of movies, musicals, television series, video games as well as jazz.
