The Lameque International Baroque Music Festival grew from the seed
of a harpsichord recital in 1971. By 1975 it was firmly rooted,
staging its first concert in July 1976. Founded by harpsichordist
Mathieu Duguay, it has attracted thousands of music lovers to the
picturesque island, delighting them with early music performed in
the exceptional acoustics of the colourful Sainte-Cécile church
in Petite-Rivière-de-l’Île.
The Lameque Baroque Festival is unique in Canada for its dedication
to music from the period 1600-1760, presenting outstanding
performances on period instruments (or replicas.) Its programs
include vocal and instrumental selections, featuring choral works,
chamber music and solo pieces.
