MONTRÉAL EN LUMIÈRE, a major annual ritual

And now MONTRÉAL EN LUMIÈRE confirms its status as a major annual ritual. What else can be said, when no fewer than six Québécois artists choose this event as the venue for their major Montreal homecoming shows! Diane Tell, with her first Quebec-produced album in ages, France D'Amour with her jazz album, the grand return of Marie Denise Pelletier, Catherine Major in a celebration of her 3rd album, Brigitte Boisjoli and her Félix for Discovery of the Year, Antoine Gratton launching La défense du titre; there will be plenty of new shows and new songs to warm up our ears in the February chill!
