Festival Saint-Zénon-de-Piopolis

Since 1999, the Festival Saint-Zénon-de-Piopolis, held in the Eastern Townships, has been featuring an annual series of concerts, from classical to world music, not to mention jazz. Five concerts are given in the summer season, from May to September, with a Christmas concert closing the season. Thanks to a team of volunteers, the Festival is able to put renowned musicians on stage at reasonable rates. Also, it’s free for children 12 years old and under accompanied by their parents. The 2012 season will be featuring Marie-Josée Lord and her trio on May 26; the Montreal All City Big Band interpreting great selected works on June 23; Quartetto Gelato on July 14; the Caprice Ensemble interpreting Vivaldi’s the “Return of the Angels” on August 18; Susie Arioli and Jordan Officer on September 1; and finally, on December 8, Marie-Michèle Desrosiers presenting “Christmas with Marie-Michèle.”
