The benefit event

Since its creation in 2011, the Future Stars’ Grand Premiere presents a unique show that raises funds to support Place des Arts’s L’Art en soi programs. This event, which brings together businesspeople, philanthropists, and art lovers from all backgrounds, offers exceptionally talented young artists the opportunity to perform on a stage in a prestigious venue, the Théâtre Maisonneuve.

Community Outreach: Lighting a spark

Arts and culture are essential for our development and fulfillment as individuals, as a community and as a society. This is why, every year, several hundred teenagers from less privileged backgrounds and newcomers are invited to attend the show free of charge.

Since this initiative was created, nearly 2,300 people have taken part in this unique evening. Many have experienced their first visit to a large theater and their first immersion in the cultural world of the performing arts in Quebec.
