BOURGIE HALL<br />
ARTISTIC VISION<br />
AND MUSICAL<br />
PROGRAMMING<br />
A key venue on the Quebec<br />
music scene<br />
Since its opening, <strong>Bourgie</strong> <strong>Hall</strong> has enjoyed exceptional<br />
beginnings and revolutionized the concert scene in the city<br />
by offering the public outstanding performances. It was<br />
initially expected th<strong>at</strong> some thirty concerts per year would be<br />
presented, but the venue’s qualities quickly made it one of the<br />
most sought-after halls in Quebec: today, it hosts almost 200<br />
events each season. <strong>Bourgie</strong> <strong>Hall</strong> is known for the diversity<br />
of musical genres it presents, and the quality and originality<br />
of its programming—designed for both seasoned and new<br />
music lovers. Combined with its close ties with the Museum’s<br />
exhibitions and collections, the support and opportunities it<br />
provides to young performers, and the cre<strong>at</strong>ion of new music,<br />
it has established itself as one of Canada’s most important<br />
concert music presenters.<br />
Due to its intim<strong>at</strong>e <strong>at</strong>mosphere, its size perfectly suited to<br />
recitals and chamber music, and its exceptional acoustics, the<br />
hall is an ideal venue for soloists, small ensembles, and chamber<br />
orchestras. For its jazz and world music concerts, the hall also<br />
boasts a st<strong>at</strong>e-of-the-art sound system.<br />
