Harmonia Westmount performs this weekend
By Joanne Penhale
Rooms will be filled with the voices of
Westmount women this weekend at the
Harmonia Westmount choir’s three-day
Festival of Lights.
“This is the first time we’re doing this.
We’ve never had five performances in one
weekend,” said Frédéricka Petit-Homme,
the choir’s artistic director.
It’s also the first time in the choir’s 15-
year history that it will be singing at the
Chapelle Notre Dame de Bon Secours in
Old Montreal. “It’s kind of a big deal,”
Petit-Homme said.
Harmonia performs twice at the Old
Montreal church, 400 St. Paul St. E., on
Sunday, November 29 – at 1:30 and 3 pm.
Their repetoire includes songs in Middle
English from “A Ceremony of Carols” by
Benjamin Britten, Hebrew Rounds for
Peace by Launy Grøndahl, and Laudate
Pueri Dominum by Felix Mendelssohn.
Also free and open to the public during
the weekend festival is the Friday
evening performance at Victoria Hall at 7
pm. The two-hour evening will include refreshments
and the opportunity to mingle
with choir’s 32 members.

The demolition of this house at 310 Côte St. Antoine caused some controversy, but as previously reported
(“‘Rules are rules’: neighbours lose demolition appeal”, January 20, p. 1) the city okayed the project. By
the afternoon of November 18, about 80 percent of the house was gone. Photo: Ralph Thompson, PhotoImagerie
