Cancellation of Brazil
Please take notes that the Brazilian delegation will not be able to participate to the first part of the Russian Cossack State Dance Company, as expected. The Military Police Band of Espirito Santo, the Banescanto Choir and the singer Elba Ramalho were supposed to share the scene with the Musique du Royal 22e Régiment at the Grand Théâtre de Québec, on August 24. The musical program of this concert doesn’t change, thus inspired from Brazil. The entire program will be interpreted by the Musique du Royal 22e Régiment. In second part, as expected, the Russian Cossack State Dance Company will be on stage, with its daring acrobatic somersaults, jumps, breathtaking spins, splits, leaps and the famous Cossack kicks.
Program's changes
Please take note that some changes have been made to the Popular Concerts program. Kiosque Victoria's concerts have been cancelled. Some of those shows will be presented instead on Place Royale. To see the day by day program, click here.
