Montreal Baroque Festival 2016

Downtown and Old Montréal moves to a Baroque beat: concerts by renowned artists and upcoming musicians in beautiful sites, free shows and conferences are just some of the treats  at the festival. The 2016 edition's slogan is 'Tempest in a Teapot, Theatre of tumultuous weather'. Quebecers have courageously endured Nature's anger with courage and bravura! For four days as turbulent as the Quebec barometer, the 14th Montreal Baroque Festival presents a torrent of colorful musical passions, flooding the metropolis with cataclysmic musical tempests and a storm of ideas both mundane and magical.
