An evening showcasing emerging talent

Under the inspired artistic direction of Valérie Milot and Stéphane Tétreault, and hosted with wit and humour by the inimitable Marc Labrèche, the 15th edition featured an on-stage gathering of over 60 young artists from the worlds of classical music, jazz, circus arts, musical theatre, choral singing, urban dance, and creative dance.
This exceptional meeting of disciplines and talents resulted in a bold and captivating show, warmly applauded by the audience at Théâtre Maisonneuve.
