A word from the Executive Director,
Marc-Antoine d'Aragon
Every summer for the past 20 years, Montreal Vocal Arts Festival has presented a variety of lyrical events as part of the Canadian Vocal Arts Institute.
The CVAI is en essential training center for emerging Canadian and international opera artists. Supervised by world-renowned masters, they spend nearly a month training not only vocally and musically, but also in career management and stage acting, across a panorama of trainings.
Each year, we welcome some forty young artists: singers, conductors and pianists. These are the elite from Canada and abroad who come to consolidate their foundations and prepare for their careers.
Having attended the program 6 times myself when I was just starting out in my career, I can testify to its excellence, and I'm delighted to be able to contribute to its development!

Music and opera are at the heart of my life. I am fortunate to be a member of the Board of Directors of the Canadian Vocal Arts Institute, and to have overseen the development of this organization, which has been fostering operatic careers for 19 years.
​
I'm delighted to have donated $62,500 this year, and again next year, to enable the production of a full-scale opera, with orchestra and choir, in downtown Montreal.
​
What's more, I'll match it with $150,000 if we manage to raise that amount by the end of 2024. Your donations provide a tangible experience for these great voices of the next generation of opera singers. I invite you to support these young artists in their development!
