8th edition – 2025
In 2025, the Lachine International Vocal Academy will take place between June 16th and June 30th. Twenty-one young singers and five collaborative pianists will work intensively on various essential aspects of their musical development, in a non-competitive and constructive atmosphere.
For its eight edition, four public events are being held this summer: three masterclass sessions presented in front of a live audience, and a closing concert. You can attend these exciting, even unique events and discover the behind-the-scenes of the opera singer’s chosen profession.

- June 20th (7- 8:30 PM) : Mini recital and masterclass with Wolfgang Holzmair
