Bourgie Hall

Rest assured that the “Bourgie quality” remains! The programming initially planned for the 2020–2021 season comprised roughly 50% of musicians coming from abroad. These concerts have not been reprogrammed owing to uncertainty about when borders will reopen. As a nod to Bourgie Hall’s very first season, which featured Canadian artists exclusively, our fall concerts for this 10th season will showcase the formidable talents of our local artists. These concerts also come in a variety of genres, including chamber music, recitals, jazz, Baroque, solo piano, a concert for all ages, as well as concerts in connection with the exhibition Paris in the Days of Post-Impressionism: Signac and the Indépendants.

A small number of musicians from around the world will give concerts in the first few months of this 10th season. They will be obliged to comply with Public Health directives concerning an isolation period as soon as they arrive in Canada.

The way concerts are organized has been subject to a complete overhaul: for example, concerts are less than an hour in duration and are presented without intermission; two seats are left vacant between each spectator or each family unit; wearing a face covering is mandatory inside the building (concertgoers may remove them once seated in their places) and the exchange policy is more flexible.

If you are experiencing symptoms, it is your responsibility not to come to Bourgie Hall.

You may cancel your reservation and obtain a credit free of charge up until the day before the concert. If you request such an exchange the day of or in the 48 hours after the concert, an $8 exchange fee will be applied. Exchange requests will not be accepted beyond 48 hours after the concert.

Bourgie Hall is pleased to collaborate with the internationally renowned recording label ATMA Classique for a hybrid concert series: concerts performed before a live audience will also be recorded and broadcast on the new platform Livetoune. Webcasts are offered live and in non-real-time for a limited period afterward.
