Choeur philharmonique du Nouveau Monde
A choir is a place of meeting and sharing.
As Choeur philharmonique du Nouveau Monde- Basses-Laurentides we are proud to join the other SPNM members, including professional musicians and soloists, for the presentation of major choral works for choir and orchestra.
For more than 60 years, first under the name “Les Chanteurs de Sainte-Thérèse” and then under our current name, we have performed in several cities of the Lower Laurentians, Montreal and Ottawa. To do this, our choristers meet every Monday in Sainte-Thérèse under the inspiring direction of maestro Michel Brousseau, admirably assisted by Danielle Maisonneuve.
Although we are a choir composed largely of choristers with no musical background, the level reached after concert is truly remarkable. The exceptional commitment and constant efforts of our choristers make singing a contagious pleasure.
This year, we will present the Mass in G major by Schubert and some of Rutter’s most beautiful Christmas Carols in December at Saint-Eustache and next spring, the unforgettable Carmina Burana by Carl Orff that will make the walls of the church of Sainte-Thérèse tremble. We invite you to come and see us, you will be charmed!
