Lamèque International Baroque Music Festival Launches the Gold Circle for its 50th Anniversary
The 50th Season will take place from July 30 to August 1, 2026
Lamèque, N. B., Monday, December 8, 2025: As it prepares to celebrate its 50th anniversary, taking place from July 30 to August 1, 2026, the Lamèque International Baroque Music Festival is proud to unveil its 50th Anniversary Gold Circle, a recognition initiative designed for patrons who wish to support the longevity and continued impact of one the most iconic cultural events in the Acadian Peninsula and in New Brunswick.
With a contribution of $1,000, Gold Circle members become valued partners of the Festival and enjoy an exclusive experience during this milestone edition. Their support provides a full Festival VIP pass, an exclusive pre-concert meeting with the guest conductor, access to the closing reception, an official acknowledgement in the 50th-anniversary program, and a commemorative photo marking their contribution.
Because this initiative is first and foremost a philanthropic donation, the Festival can adapt the benefits based on each donor’s availability and presence during the Festival activities, ensuring that every contribution is fully recognized.
“The 50th Anniversary Gold Circle is much more than a philanthropic gesture – it is a meaningful way to support the Festival’s cultural mission and celebrate five decades of music, artistry, and passion,” says the Festival’s President of the Board of Directors, Martine Thériault. “By joining this circle, our patrons help sustain an event that brings world-class baroque music to our region and enriches its artistic vitality.”
Since 1975, the Festival has welcomed renowned artists and audiences from near and far. The launch of the Gold Circle marks a key milestone in preparing for the Festival’s 50th anniversary, which promises a memorable program and several special initiatives.
