LES SAISONS RUSSES BECOME LES PRINTEMPS SLAVES
On the eve of celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Saisons Russes, we experienced a terrible heartbreak.
After nine wonderful seasons of concerts, shows, exciting encounters and unexpected discoveries, in 2022 we were preparing to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Saisons Russes de Montreal. The outbreak of war in Ukraine put an abrupt end to our preparations: distraught, we could no longer celebrate, and a time out was in order.
Our reflection was long, full of doubts and questions.
What was our mission? Did we still have our place in Montreal's cultural landscape? At the end of this reflection, we understood that our role was to show that art and music can serve as a bulwark against the destructive forces that assail us, and that artists of all origins form a united front against barbarism and violence.
From rupture to renewal!
We have therefore decided to revive the festival, under a new name that better reflects the universal values of tolerance, respect and appreciation of diversity that have always been ours. From the year 2023, our festival will therefore be called Les Printemps Slaves. Stay tuned, and join us every year to celebrate all the musical and cultural diversity of the Les Printemps Slaves!
