The Conservatoire de musique de la Montérégie, create in 2003, is an organization dedicated to the musical training and performance of the next generation of musicians.

Training

Musical training is held at the Saint-Lambert Community Centre (600 Oak Avenue) from September to June, and is aimed primarily dedicated to the Lambertois clientèle. Participants may also reside in other other cities on the South Shore and Greater Montreal. The Conservatoire offers courses for all instruments and also several ensembles. During the summer, we also offer courses at our music camp.

Concert performances

Public concerts allow musicians to perform at several events in the City of Saint-Lambert in which they participate annually: Rentrée culturelle, Rendez-vous culturels, Saint-Lambert Days, Festival Classica and Christmas concerts in collaboration with the Jardins Intérieurs. With its annual concerts, some of which are held in the churches of Saint-Lambert, the Conservatoire de musique de la Montérégie thus allows it to showcase its cultural heritage. It also helps to promote the city of Saint-Lambert by presenting concerts in large venues, such as the Salle Claude-Champagne, the Maison Symphonique and the Cinquième Salle at Place des Arts.
