As part of the Culture Days, the Société pour les arts en milieu de santé (SAMS) and the Studio de musique ancienne de Montréal (SMAM) join forces to present a series of free concerts in the entrance halls of hospitals.
Conceived as true moments of beauty, respite, and connection, these 45-minute concerts are offered to patients, their loved ones, and healthcare staff. In these spaces of passage, often marked by waiting or fatigue, early music suspends the everyday and creates a moment of calm and togetherness.
