The Conservatory of Music of Montérégie, an organization whose mission is the training and dissemination of emerging musical talent, was founded in 2003. In addition, Classique pour tous allows you to discover concerts performed by professional musicians, many of whom are also members of the CMM’s teaching faculty.
Education
The education component takes place at the Saint‑Lambert Community Center (600 Oak Avenue), from September through June, and is aimed primarily at residents of Saint‑Lambert. Participants also come from other cities in Montérégie and Greater Montréal. The Conservatory offers lessons for all instruments, as well as for a number of ensembles. During the summer period, we also offer courses through our music camp.
Performance Component
The performance component gives musicians the opportunity to present concerts as part of several annual events organized by the City of Saint-Lambert: the Cultural Season Kickoff, Culture Days, Cultural Rendezvous, Saint-Lambert Celebrations, Festival Classica, and Christmas concerts throughout Greater Montréal. Through its annual concerts—some of which take place in Saint-Lambert churches—the Conservatory of Music of Montérégie helps to showcase the region’s cultural heritage. It also contributes to promoting the City of Saint-Lambert by presenting concerts in major venues such as Théâtre Maisonneuve, Maison Symphonique, and the Cinquième Salle at Place des Arts.
