Future Stars’ Grand Premiere

Fondation de la Place des Arts' annual benefit event

Since its creation in 2011, the Future Stars’ Grand Premiere presents a unique show that raises funds to support the programs and activities of Place des Arts’ Education and Communities sector. This evening, which brings together people from the philanthropic, artistic, and business community as well as art lovers from all backgrounds, offers exceptionally talented young artists the opportunity to perform on a stage in a prestigious venue under the artistic direction of a different artist each year.

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 francization centers’ students, as well as people from various community organizations – especially for newcomers – are invited each year to attend the show free of charge.

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

2023 Edition

The Future Stars’ Grand Premiere will be back at Théâtre Maisonneuve on Tuesday, June 6!

Stéphane Tétreault, internationally renowned cellist and recipient of numeros awards and honours – including the 2022 Prix Opus for "Performer of the Year", has been entrusted with the artistic direction for the 12th edition of this event, which will be a venue for emotion and discovery.
