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 />
