Making music is at the heart of CAMMAC’s mission – our goal is to create a true paradise where music lovers can come together to sing, play, learn, and listen to music.
At CAMMAC, you will find a relaxing, friendly, and non-competitive environment where you can meet people who share your passion for music.
Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been singing or playing for years, our outstanding roster of highly committed teachers will give you the support you need to grow as a musician, regardless of your age or skill level.
Can’t read music? No problem! You can partner with veteran singers who will help you follow along.
Our objective is to create the perfect musical experience in which you can immerse yourself while having fun. While achieving this is no small feat, we are proud to say that newcomers often tell us that CAMMAC has changed their lives.
The CAMMAC Music Centre:
unique in Canada
CAMMAC embodies a vision that aligns with our aspirations for a vibrant and inclusive society in Canada, with core values revolving around fostering personal growth, a sense of belonging, and healthy, fulfilling lives for all, and this in a bilingual context that encourages integration between cultures.
The concerts, music programs, and retreats offered at the CAMMAC Music Centre provide uniquely enriching experiences for amateur musicians and music lovers, surrounded by the beauty of nature. By cultivating inclusive musical experiences that transcend barriers of age, language, and culture, our activities exemplify “participative culture”, as described by Simon Brault, CEO of the Canada Council in La Culture avec un grand C.
CAMMAC plays an important role in supporting music in Canada
CAMMAC occupies a vital position within Canada’s music ecosystem. Over the years, CAMMAC has nurtured the talents of many of Canada’s most celebrated, including Yannick Nézet-Séguin, Daniel Taylor, Timothy Hutchins, and Gregory Charles, among others. In addition, participants in CAMMAC’s activities are highly representative of the target audience for professional classical music concerts – the very individuals who enable classical music to thrive in today’s world.
Following on the original release of Musical Postcards from the CAMMAC Music Centre in 2021, we are thrilled to present a new series of videos funded by the Canada Council for the Arts through the Digital Now program!
Created between between October 2023 and March 2024, these nine new videos were filmed at the CAMMAC Music Centre in Quebec’s Laurentian region, and at the Conservatoire de musique de Montreal. They feature an eclectic group of 26 members of CAMMAC’s exceptional faculty, many of whom rank among Canada’s finest performing artists.
This project was produced with the support of the Canada Council for the Arts Digital Now Initiative.
AND THERE’S MORE
In addition to the Music Centre in the Laurentians, CAMMAC is present in the regions of Montreal, Ottawa-Gatineau, and Toronto, where a multitude of musical activities are on offer – concerts, sight readings and many more activities to please music lovers of every type and level.
