We open the doors of our concert halls to newcomers. We believe that culture transcends language, fostering a welcoming and inclusive space for newcomers to Montreal. Our dedication to baroque live music in Montreal goes beyond concerts as we partner with CACI to offer unforgettable events filled with discovery, connection, and the impactful compositions of Baroque music.
We understand that settling into a new city can be a challenge. Building a new social circle and feeling a sense of belonging can take time. Arion Baroque Orchestra, in partnership with CACI and La Maisonnée, aims to bridge that gap with the power of live music in Montreal! This unique program welcomes newcomers, offering them a chance to spend time in our company.
