SMCQ Jeunesse

SMCQ Jeunesse’s music performances offer kids and adults important moments centered on music, with the goal to go far beyond the beaten track, while focusing on traditional music for children’s techniques — like sound effects or musical themes associated with specific characters. By commissioning new works from today’s composers and writers and by revisiting the “established” children’s repertoire, SMCQ Jeunesse proposes new vistas in order to present an array of unique shows where danse, drama and visual arts are all part of the musical game. SMCQ Jeunesse’s productions are a gage to enhancing kids’ imagination and to stimulating new tastes, interests and projects. Three SMCQ Jeunesse’ shows have won Opus Prize for “Best Production for Young Audience”, awarded by Le Conseil québécois de la musique: “The Tale of the Little Tailor” (1997), “Bouba ou Les tableaux d’une expédition” (2001) and “Éclats de Rythme” (2002).
