For several years, Concert Lachine has established a wonderful partnership with the Montreal International Classical Guitar Festival and Competition. This festival and this competition have become an essential event in our musical environment. Founded in 2002 by Patrick Kearney, current director, the Festival aims to help young guitarists to express their talent and to develop their skills to the maximum, in addition to making known the extraordinary instrument that is the guitar.
Due to the pandemic, the competition did not take place in 2021. Our partner proposed two formidable up-and-coming guitarists: Félix Lebel and Jesse Shallcross.
This Concert is presented at the Entrepôt Concert Hall
