Schulich at the Festival international de Jazz de Montréal
As always, Schulich faculty, alumni, and students are heavily involved in the Festival international de Jazz de Montréal. From June 26 to July 6, 2019, take in some music at one of the festival's many sites as part of its 40th edition—the list below highlights a collection of Schulich-related acts performing this year organized by venue, several of which feature free admission.
Of special note this year is the opening of a new festival stage in Verdun as part of the FIJM's "festival hubs" initiative. Over the course of the next five years, a new "hub" will be created each year in a different Montreal borough offering free, high-quality programming. We're proud to see Schulich alumni performing in this new venue's inaugural year, including pianist Gentiane Michaud-Gagnon (MMus 2017, pictured), who was named ICI Musique's 2018-2019 Révélation Radio-Canada en jazz.
