The Festival Will Present a Musical Advent Calendar in December 

Lamèque, N. B., Friday, November 27, 2020:  The Lamèque International Baroque Music Festival is proud to announce the presentation of a Musical Advent Calendar on Facebook throughout the month of December. Each day, a video of an artist or an ensemble will be posted on the Festival’s Facebook page (www.facebook.com/LamequeBaroque).  This activity will feature early music performed by guest artists of the festival in recent years. In addition, several publications will showcase some of the of artists who were scheduled to take part in the 2020 season of the Festival, which unfortunately could not be presented in July 2020. 

The Advent Calendar will conclude on December 24 and 25 with videos dedicated to old Christmas carols and created especially for the occasion by Vincent Lauzer, recorder player and artistic director of the festival, and three fellow musicians. 

With this new initiative, the Lamèque International Baroque Music Festival wishes to give visibility to the artists with whom it collaborates and to offer its audience the opportunity to discover the activity of the musicians invited to Lamèque every summer.

Music lovers from all over the world are invited to follow the Festival’s Facebook page and share the 2020 Advent Calendar posts. Music is good for the soul and can be a great comfort in these difficult times. 

We wish a happy and joyful Holiday Season to all.  May the year 2021 bring you good health.  We look forward to seeing you again in July 2021 as we celebrate the 45th anniversary of the Lamèque International Baroque Music Festival.
