La Maîtrise des Petits Chanteurs de Québec and Organist Marc D’Anjou in Concert

Founded in 1915, La Maîtrise des Petits Chanteurs de Québec is the oldest choir school of its kind in North America.  Each year, some 250 students, aged 6 to 17, follow a comprehensive music curriculum in addition to their regular studies. They perform regularly in professional concerts and every two years a smaller group of young choristers goes on tour, performing in prestigious venues such as Westminster Cathedral, the Sagrada Familia and St. Peter’s Basilica.  This year’s tour is to Canada’s West Coast, notably Vancouver and Victoria, and as in other years, organist Marc D’Anjou is their accompanist.  They will sing a variety of sacred and secular music, and Marc D’Anjou will also perform works for solo organ.
