Since 1983, six summer Thursdays in a small church with remarkable acoustics · Sainte-Pétronille, Île d'Orléans, Capitale-Nationale, Québec, Canada
The festival
At the western tip of Île d'Orléans, the small church of Sainte-Pétronille has been hosting since 1983 a summer series of chamber music that has become a tradition of summer in Quebec. Its 43rd season was held from June 25 to August 20, 2026: six concerts, every Thursday at 7:30 p.m., in the church's intimate and remarkable acoustic setting, under the artistic direction of Marc Roussel.
Good to know

The church has just over 300 places: intimate concerts, where internationally-class musicians make the detour through the village.
