Montreal is synonymous with music and concerts. Summertime in the city is a perfect time for music lovers to enjoy an array of music genres, sights, and sounds.
This July is no different.
The Cambridge University Wind Orchestra and Harmonie Laval are both bringing a free, outdoor concert to one of Montreal’s most recognizable spots, Parc Mont Royal, giving Montrealers an opportunity to listen to classical music in the open, summer sky.
According to the Harmonie Laval Facebook page, The Cambridge University Wind Orchestra will be going on a North American tour in celebration of their 30th anniversary and will make their first-ever stop in Montreal on July 5.
