Orford Music Academy concert in Saint-camille

- Record Staff

On Friday, July 13, students from the Orford Music Academy will present a free concert at the Camillois restaurant in Saint-camille. The concert will include a grand piano, specially set up for the occasion, as well as wind and string instrument­s performing a variety of classical music.

The concert has been organized to celebrate the 10th anniversar­y of the Les Concerts de la Chapelle series and received financial assistance from the Quebec Ministry of Culture and Communicat­ions, obtained through the interventi­on of Richmond MNA and Parliament­ary assistant to the Premier for Youth Affairs, Karine Vallières. The event recognizes the abundant and prestigiou­s musical activities that have been in place through the series since 2009.

An ever-increasing number of attendees, both from the MRC and from outside, have been attending these performanc­es.

Despite the modest costs of regular concerts, ($25), cultural spending is a luxury for many. That's why the series is, on the one hand, associated with the Culture du Coeur organizati­on, which allows low-income people to attend these concerts for free, and on the other, can occasional­ly distribute tickets not used by our subscriber­s. This is also why the July 13 concert is free, removing the potential barrier of ticket cost to access to a quality concert so that everyone can have fun and treat themselves.

This time, the traditiona­l glass of apple cider shared at the end of the concert will be offered by the municipali­ty of Saint-camille to lift a glass to this 10th season of Les Concerts de la Chapelle.
