Additional Information

The Festival international du Domaine Forget, currently in session at Saint-Irénée in the magnificent Charlevoix region, is an opportunity to discover and hear rhythms, colors, genres and styles with diverse influences, not just confined to a classical setting.
This Friday, July 19, an ad hoc ensemble of musicians-teachers from the Académie du Domaine Forget will perform in a concert highlighting American music in all its stylistic variety and influences: Amerian Landscape.
