SUMMARY

Italian Renaissance madrigals performed outdoors in the parks of the Ville-Marie borough. SMAM musicians will sing among the audience, transforming the space into a living stage. To enhance these special moments, artisanal ice cream will be offered free of charge. Between lemon, vanilla, pistachio, and captivating voices, join us for this musical and gourmet stroll—like turning a corner onto a Roman street. A unique way to rediscover the city, carried by the beauty of the voices and the freshness of summer.

Cancelled in case of heavy rain.

This project is presented as part of the Cultural Initiatives Support Program (Ville-Marie Borough).
