Singing workshops or masterclass / February 9, 2026

Notes from the front

Hello dear music lovers,

Here is an invitation from the Jeunesses Musicales Canada – Chaleur Bay Chapter for choristers, singers, soloists, and voice teachers to register for a singing workshop or a masterclass on Monday, February 9, 2026.

We will be welcoming soprano Mathilde Duval-Laplante on Sunday, February 8 at 2:00 p.m. at the Quai des arts, in collaboration with Maximum 90. She will be performing Les carnets du front with pianist Rosemarie Duval-Laplante and pianist Jean-Michel Dubé.

On this occasion, she is offering to meet with singers and choristers who wish to improve their vocal skills. You may choose between two options:

• A masterclass on Monday, February 9 at the Quai des arts, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. in the concert hall. Several participants have already signed up, and it promises to be a unique experience not to be missed. Each participant is invited to present a piece of about two minutes, followed by a public lesson of approximately twenty minutes with our soprano. Anyone interested in attending as an audience member is welcome to come; admission is free.

• The “Reveal Your Voice” singing workshop, also offered on Monday, February 9 at 1:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. in the rehearsal room at the Quai des arts. This workshop is open to anyone wishing to learn or improve their singing. A series of playful activities focused on technique, breathing, and posture will be presented. The cost is $20, payable at the door.

Anyone interested must register with Ms. Claire Bourbeau by text message or by calling 418‑392‑3998.

We look forward to seeing you,

Claire Bourbeau
Administrator, JMC Chaleur Bay Chapter, Carleton, QC
