SUMMARY

Italian Renaissance madrigals sung outdoors in Plateau-Mont-Royal parks at day’s end. Musicians from SMAM will stroll among the audience, turning the space into a living stage. To accompany these exceptional moments, artisanal gelato from Les Givrés, inspired by Italian flavors, will be offered for free. Between lemon, vanilla, pistachio—and spellbinding voices—join us for a musical and culinary stroll, like wandering down a Roman alleyway. A unique way to rediscover the city, carried by the beauty of the voice and the freshness of summer.

Cancelled in case of heavy rain.

This project is presented as part of the Plateau-Mont-Royal Cultural Initiatives Support Program.

Thank you to our sponsor
