NEW ORLEANS BLUES

Why not swap the December chill for the vibrant warmth of New Orleans this year? Get into the groove with jazz, bluegrass, gospel, and funk. Let yourself be swept away by a festive and exhilarating atmosphere, just like a New Year's Eve celebration in the heart of the French Quarter. December 16 to 31, 2026, Studio St-Denis invites you to experience New Orleans Blues, a musical getaway where the holiday spirit meets the one of Bourbon Street. 'From the very fi rst notes, you'll be immersed in a bright and warm atmosphere where brass instruments ring out like Christmas bells and every song becomes a celebration,' says Normand Brathwaite, director and artistic director. This three-act show traces the rhythmic journey of blues from its beginnings to the present, wrapped in costumes as fl amboyant as those of Mardi Gras, yet infused with a touch of winter magic. Straight from another world, the mysterious Baron Samedi, a voodoo spirit embodied by Fayolle Jean Jr., guides your journey like a festive ghost. Under the musical direction of Jean-François Beaudet, seven exceptional musicians bring this sonic tapestry to life. Percussion, brass, and keyboards intertwine to create an atmosphere that is both intimate and explosive, perfect for warming up December evenings. As the holidays near, what could be better than an evening that feels like a step back in time? New Orleans Blues is a dinner show showcasing Louisiana and Cajun fl avours that offers a warm and welcoming escape. A special treat to enjoy on your own or share with others: an immersion in a world where music brings people together, warms the heart, and gets everyone moving. For one evening, let the magic happen... Let New Orleans enchant you and brighten your winter. DURATION 90 minutes without intermission DINNER IS AT THE HEART OF THE SHOW EXPERIENCE!

CULTURE MONTRÉAL EN CARTE

About this map

Montréal has a rich cultural offering, but information is scattered across websites, social networks, noticeboards and posters. Getting an overview can be difficult. Montréal en culture aims to simplify discovery by bringing cultural activities together in all their variety. The project is also inspired, with some nostalgia, by the weekly calendar of the cultural magazine View, which featured a varied offering, from shows to talks and from popular events to more unconventional activities. Adding a map, Montréal en culture invites you to explore that richness across the city. Still a prototype, this independent project aims to become an essential reference for cultural outings in Montréal.

The site was originally designed for desktop use. A mobile interface is now available.

A broad understanding of culture

The directory takes a broad view of culture: artistic creation, presentation, heritage, knowledge sharing, and opportunities for discovery or participation. It covers the Montréal urban agglomeration, including its associated islands. Its scope develops with the sources and activities recorded.
