Learning music in Trois-Rivières
Although musical life in the city of Trois-Rivières was not very lively at the beginning of the 19th century and ended with the accidental passage of artists through the city, today the situation has changed completely. Like many other Canadian cities, the first bands to operate in the city were church bands, which later expanded to other styles of classical, pop, rap, hip hop, and more. Musicians such as Maurice De Celles, Pauline Julien, and Jacques Hétu have been introduced to the world from this city. There is also a very large and famous music hall called Cogeco Amphitheater, which hosts many celebrations and concerts every year. FestiVoix is a major music festival in the Mauritius area that takes place in early summer.
