Located in Old Montreal, The Notre Dame Basilica's Gothic exterior faces the Place d' Armes square. Upon entry, visitors are stunned by the colorful and intricate designs found on the ceiling and walls which depict scenes of Montreal's religious history. Musical programming includes regular choral and organ performances; perhaps your group is next!
This hall has hosted internationally-renowned musicians, including members of Montreal Symphony Orchestra, Arlo Guthrie, Ranee Lee and Oliver Jones. The intimate 570-seat hall draws from Japanese influences as seen the horizontal grid of birch planks that forms the stage's backdrop. The spacious hardwood stage is easily seen from all vantage points in the room, and adjustable acoustic panels allow for a wide spectrum of natural sound.
Built in the early twentieth century, St. Joseph's is Canada's largest church. The church was founded by Saint André Bessette, famous for his healing powers. Many of those who he healed discarded their crutches and now thousands of these decorate one wall of the chapel. In the mid twentieth century composer Émilien Allard served as carrillonneur and it was here where he wrote and recorded many of his famous works. This is a venue rich in modern Christian and musical history, the perfect place for a choral performance.
Known for performing miracles, each year disabled visitors from around the world are drawn to Sainte-Anne in the hopes that this church will heal them. Upon entering this church, you will see two pillars filled with tokens of the disabled (crutches, canes, etc.), each item having been left by someone who claims to have been healed. Though the first church was burned to the ground in 1992, its renovation is said to still maintain its miraculous healing powers. Who knows? Maybe it was the visiting performance group who truly healed these people!
Notre Dame, located in the heart Québec's historic district, is the oldest Roman Catholic Parish in North America. Originally built in 1647, the church has been twice destroyed and twice rebuilt. In 1922 the inside was once again destroyed, this time by fire, it was restored by Maxime Roisin and Raoul Chenevert who are to thank for today's stunning interior. This is a beautiful venue, rich in history and the perfect place for a choral ensemble.
L'église de la Nativité has suffered several fires over the course of its history. In 1918 the fourth and current church was built by the famous architect Georges-émile Tanguay. Tanguay was well known throughout Europe for his gothic-style architecture. This beautiful church is in the heart of Québec's historic district, Vieu-Bourg de Beauport.
This ¼-mile promenade overlooks the St. Lawrence River right by the Château Frontenac in Québec City. The terrace is by far the most visited tourist attraction in Québec City and provides a great opportunity for a performance or even a parade.
