The Lamèque International Baroque Music Festival grew from the seed of a harpsichord recital in 1971. By 1975 it was firmly rooted, staging its first concert in July 1976. Founded by harpsichordist Mathieu Duguay, it has attracted thousands of music lovers to the picturesque island, delighting them with early music performed in the exceptional acoustics of the colourful Sainte-Cécile church in Petite-Rivière-de-l'Île. It is unique in Canada for its dedication to music from the period 1600-1760, presenting outstanding performances on period instruments(or replicas.) Its programs include vocal and instrumental selections, featuring choral works, chamber music and solo pieces.  1, record 10, English, - Lam%C3%A8que%20International%20Baroque%20Music%20Festival
