Interview by Alain Brunet
Genres and styles : Classical / pop symphonique

Additional Information

The Classica Festival will present its 16th program from May 22 to June 14, 2026. From Beethoven’s Symphonic Heptade to his Piano Concertos, Classica offers more than twenty programs performed mostly by Quebec artists. Reflecting a fully committed artistic vision, Classica 2026 features a hybrid program that blends instrumental and vocal music from the classical repertoire with new explorations in symphonic pop-rock, world music, and youth concerts.

“From its inception, the Classica Festival has defined itself as a space for sharing dedicated to all so-called classical music in multiple configurations, from various eras, origins and movements. With this 16th edition, the Festival embodies its mission more than ever: to offer a unifying program guided by a constant concern for quality,” emphasizes Marc Boucher in a press release.

But what else?

The general manager and founder of the Classica Festival gives a preview of its program, launched this week, under the theme “Concerts within your reach.” Concerts that embrace their potential!
