Additional Information

From Thursday 4 June until Thursday 17 July 2025, the Centre des Musiciens du Monde in Montreal will be launching its third season of Music Under a Tree. Quite simply, free concerts by musicians from the four corners of the world in Parc Lahaie, just in front of the centre on the corner of Saint-Laurent and Saint-Joseph. India, Burkina Faso, Ukraine, Georgia, Eastern Europe, Turkey and many other learned and folk traditions will be on display to the delight of music lovers eager for universal and humanist communion. I spoke to Frédéric Léotar, General Director of the Centre, about the programme.
