Following the resounding success of the first Holiday Melodies concert in 2022, it has become one of the OM’s most anticipated events. More than your typical Christmas concert, it’s an occasion for different genres and cultures to come together. With the Taurey Butler Trio and the voices of Mélissa Bédard, Kim Richardson, and the Chœur Métropolitain, under the baton of Yannick Nézet-Séguin, the concert will feature the convergence of Québécois, American and European traditions with jazz and classical styles. Antoine Gratton’s arrangements harmonize memories from all these musical worlds that contribute to Quebec’s unique culture.

Holiday Melodies

Place des Arts

Since her notable participation in Star Académie in 2012, Mélissa Bédard has established herself as a dominant figure in the Quebec artistic community. She presents her new show in which she interprets the great successes of the French-speaking world in her own way. A multi-talented artist, the charismatic singer also proves to be an exceptional actress in the dramatic comedy M'entends-tu, where she played the unforgettable Fabiola. The one who masters the art of dazzling us with her intimate and powerful voice should give an extraordinary breath of fresh air to a repertoire that already is!
