Registration for the 2024 edition of the Cadence Music Festival started

It is with great joy that I am announcing that the Cadence Music Festival is coming back for its 4th edition. This musical event is dedicated to young musicians and will take place on April 12th, 13th and 14th 2024 at the Piano Vertu music hall, located at 5193 Décarie Blvd. Decarie, Montreal, Quebec, H3W 3C2.

This Festival offers the opportunity to all music players to develop their potential. Playing on stage builds a child’s personality and self-confidence. Comments from judges, respected teachers and musicians, are very important for students’ progress.
