Jardin Musical
A concert series set in urban green oases
Jardin musical is an outdoor concert series imagined and produced by collectif9, presented free of charge throughout the summer in Montreal’s public parks and gardens.
Designed in an accessible 30-minute format, each performance showcases one or two artists and is presented twice in the same day, inviting audiences to stop by as they go about their day.
Warm and community-oriented, the series transforms green spaces into true gathering places. It encourages connections between neighbours, helps reduce social isolation, and brings a vibrant artistic presence into the heart of local communities. In a relaxed atmosphere, audiences discover a rich repertoire ranging from Baroque to contemporary music, just steps from home.
Throughout the series, music blends with the natural environment: birdsong, the breeze, rustling leaves, and children’s laughter create a living soundscape that extends the artistic experience in the very heart of the city.
