‘Le groupe MusiArt’ choir launches their 3rd album

Join us to celebrate the launch of the new album of ‘Le groupe MusiArt’, the Montreal General Hospital’s Music Therapy Program choir made up of psychiatry outpatients.

This unique MUHC mental health choir project will be celebrating its 25th anniversary this year!

The choir’s new album is entitled “Resilience” and consists of 16 original songs, the majority of which will be performed live on the night of the event. Several musicians will accompany the choir during this concert.

This event is also a fundraiser for the MUHC’s Mental Health Music Therapy program. The price of admission includes a copy of the new CD and access to the concert. (A $40 tax receipt will be issued.)

This event will take place in the concert hall of the Chapelle historique du Bon-Pasteur, a warm and intimate venue, also known for its quality acoustics.

There are only 100 tickets available, first-come first-served. A unique event that will be rich in emotions and music!

What is music therapy?

When used by professional therapists in all of its facets, music has the ability to heal. At the Montreal General Hospital (MGH), music is used to connect with patients of the Mental Health Mission. Through regular sessions, patients get to access their emotions, express their feelings, and open new doors to healing.

The Music Therapy Program is known for its outpatient choir, Le Groupe MusiArt whose members meet every week to sing and also write their own songs. By doing so, they find new ways of expressing themselves. They develop friendships with each other and, most of all enjoy a pressure– and judgment-free zone.

For the love of music and life

Every time I participated in a music therapy session, I was blown away by how much good it did me. It gave me so much energy, so much joy! It’s incredible how much music can heal us.
