Beautiful Moments at the EMJM Youth Concert

The Sisters at Maison Jésus-Marie (MJM) were delighted to welcome the young students from Externat du Mont-Jésus-Marie (EMJM) on May 10. During this visit, which has become a tradition, some 35 choristers presented their program under the direction of Ms Karine Marois.

Accompanied on the piano by Mr. Julien Girard, the youngsters sang a few songs, including “Crier n’est pas chanter“, “Le murmure du vent” and “Si on chantait“. The sight of these little faces concentrating on the measures and giving their best, brought a smile to many faces, and was a joy to behold.

The second part of the concert was under the musical direction of Carmen Turcotte. The audience appreciated the talent of these young elementary school pianists, who each in turn played their solo pieces. The selected pieces were drawn from the repertoire of composers such as Martha Mier, Eugénie Rocherolle and Mary Leaf, as well as Robert Vandal, Georg Anton Benda and Andrew Hardbridge.

All the young people experienced a magical moment during the recital, feeling the pleasure and encouragement of the audience.
