Until August 16, the CAMMAC Music Center is hosting a new edition of the Dimanche en musique concert series. Every Sunday in the summer, international-caliber artists will perform in the warm atmosphere of an intimate room with a view of the magnificent Lake MacDonald. The eight concerts of the season will highlight a rich musical diversity, between Argentine tango, early music, string quartet, world music, jazz, Latin American guitar and vocal repertoire.
Located in the heart of the Laurentians, the CAMMAC Music Center invites you to slow down and fully enjoy the day. After the concert, the public can enjoy an unlimited brunch, always with a view of the lake, and then continue the experience as they wish: relaxing by the water, walking in the forest or hiking on the surrounding trails.
At a distance of 90 minutes from Montreal, 30 minutes from Mont-Tremblant and two hours from Ottawa, CAMMAC stands out as a summer cultural destination where musical programming fits naturally into the landscape.
Programming for the 2026 edition
Sunday July 5 – 11 a.m. The Passion of ReasonLes Boréades de MontréalFrancis Colpron (recorders, musical direction), Femke Bergsma (recorders), Vincent Lauzer (recorders), Margaret Little (viola da gamba) and Marie-Laurence Primeau (recorders, viola da gamba)Les Boréades revisit the consort tradition in a program that is both nuanced and energetic, where instruments from the same family respond to each other across the entire range of the register. Violas and recorders deploy a refined repertoire, punctuated by dances such as pavanes and gaillardes, in a play of contrasts with resolutely current accents. In partnership with Musique et Autres Mondes.
Sunday July 12 – 11 a.m. Silk Notebooks: Echoes from East to WestAnnette Bauer (sarode, recorders, duduk, tabor) and Ran Wang (guzheng)Ran Wang and Annette Bauer trace a route inspired by the Silk Road, from ancient China to Renaissance Italy via India. This journey, nourished by landscapes both real and interior, takes the form of a dialogue between their instruments and the resonances of their strings, open to improvisation and the unexpected.
Sunday July 19 – 11 a.m. Youth and genius: Schubert & RavelCobalt QuartetGuillaume Villeneuve (violin), Diane Bayard (violin), Clément Bufferne (viola) and François Leclerc (cello)The Cobalt Quartet presents two youth works by composers at the start of their careers: the Quartet no. 10 by Schubert and the Quartet in F major by Ravel. Written almost a century apart, these quartets bear witness to a period of experimentation where the striking features of their future language emerged.
Sunday July 26 – 11 a.m. Echoes of peace: cello and harp Annabelle Renzo (harp) and Julian Armor (cello) Annabelle Renzo and Julian Armor explore a very rich repertoire, where the meditative clarity of Arvo Pärt, the rhythmic momentum of Philip Glass, as well as works by Heitor Villa-Lobos, Camille Saint-Saëns and others come together. By turns introspective, luminous and vibrant, this program highlights the expressive range and sonic richness of this duo.
Sunday August 2 – 11 a.m. The Wonders of Latin America Michel Beauchamp (guitar) South America has a rich tradition of music closely linked to the classical guitar. Here is the opportunity to savor all its facets, some melancholy, others very danceable! You will hear the most beautiful works for guitar from Mexico to Argentina via the Caribbean and Brazil.
Sunday August 9 – 11 a.m.A Night in the Garden of EdenGuillaume Martineau (piano) and Gabriel Paquin-Buki (clarinet)Guillaume Martineau and Gabriel Paquin-Buki sign a program where musical universes intersect freely. Classical writing rubs shoulders with folklore, jazz, klezmer and original creations, between Mediterranean colors, Latin rhythms and resonances of romantic Europe
Sunday August 16 – 11 a.m. For the love of music Kerry-Anne Kutz, Julie Leblanc, Monique Fauteux and Catherine Léveillé Since 2023, Kerry-Anne Kutz, Julie Leblanc, Monique Fauteux and Catherine Léveillé have formed a female vocal quartet with a warm presence and beautiful complicity. Their eclectic program brings together songs by Vigneault, Joni Mitchell, Sylvain Lelièvre, Daniel Lavoie, Shania Twain, Gino Vannelli and others, in arrangements by Simon Leclerc.
