Wherever we might be in Montréal on August 19th 2017, we will be proud to celebrate our anniversary as well as our diversity, we will be proud to appreciate the bountiful talents and creativity of our city. Come one, come all!" declared Montreal major Mr Denis Coderre.

"Montréal Symphonique is the unique chance for Montrealers to enjoy, in the outdoors and everywhere in the city, the great orchestras which have made our city famous on the international classical music scene. This event being put together is a witness to our artists' desire to honour our city's vibrant history and future", according to Marc Coiteux, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Land Occupancy, Minister of Public Security and Minister for the Montréal region.
