Pre-Festival Concert: Opera Arias, Songs, and Spanish Guitar Music
This year the "Commission des Arts, de la Culture et du Patrimoine de Lac-Mégantic" has invited musicians from Midsummer Music Dream to be part of a summer concert series called "Concerts entre chien et loup". This activity brings together hundreds of members of the community every Thursday evening at the Parc des Vétérans in Lac-Mégantic. At this pre-festival concert, our singers and musicians will perform outdoors at the town's kiosk, offering classical music for the first time in this summer setting, close by beautiful Lac-Mégantic.
