2023/24 Season Launch

This special gala concert, which opens our 2023/2024 concert season, marks the beginning of a new era for Pontiac Enchanté. Pontiac Enchanté is now collaboratively directed by Meghan Lindsay, Juan-Gabriel Olivares, Julia MacLaine, Louis-Pierre Bergeron, and Carson Becke.  All five of these musicians have deep roots in the Gatineau Hills region, and are committed to creating new and sustainable models for music making in this part of the world.  Join us for this celebratory event where we will introduce and welcome our new team, play some great music, outline our vision for the future, and enjoy wonderful food and drink by some of the best producers in our region.
