At the Grande scène Québecor stage, headliners will include Natalie MacMaster and Donnell Leahy in addition to Angèle Dubeau accompanied by her orchestra La Pietà and distinguished guests such as Shawn Phillips.
Supporting an event like La Fête de la Musique de Tremblant is an excellent opportunity to help showcase our culture.

It is another example of Quebecor’s wide-ranging participation in cultural events, which stems from our deep commitment to the arts and to bringing culture to the widest possible audience.
