Developed by the professional development division of the Conseil québécois de la Musique (CQM), these musical talks aim to demystify the repertoires of classical, modern, jazz and world music.

Expert speakers illustrate their presentations with short musical performances delivered by professional musicians. The opportunity to meet with speakers and musicians allows everyone present to discover or better understand music.

Offered since 2012, these musical talks are presented in venues all around Quebec. They are a great affordable tool for public development made available for presenters of all sizes, in all corners of the province.
