La Belle Chapelle, located in the former chapel of the Grand Séminaire de Sherbrooke, is in its twenty-first year of cultural and reflective activities. Since the transfer, in 2002, of the residents of the former Résidence de l’Estrie to the Centre d’hébergement St-Vincent, a group of people wishing to preserve, enhance and use for the benefit of the community this architectural masterpiece of the religious heritage, created a non-profit corporation – Les Amis de la Belle Chapelle – which annually offers at La Belle Chapelle a program of varied music concerts, intended for the general public of the region. Apart from a few exceptions, concerts are offered on Sunday afternoons and the price of tickets includes parking.
Les Amis de la Belle Chapelle does not benefit from any public grant program and survives solely on the contributions of generous benefactors and the modest income from its activities.

Aux deux hémisphères
La Belle Chapelle, 500 rue Murray, Sherbrooke
Aux deux hémisphères presents on stage the compositions and works of inspiration from the first album by cellist and composer Dominique Beauséjour-Ostiguy, with his acolyte, pianist Jean-Michel Dubé.
Presented in an original formula and accessible to all audiences, Aux deux hémisphères really allows you to enter the process of creation of Dominique: not only are on the program original compositions, but also featured works of the repertoire for cello and piano that were sources of inspiration in the writing process of the young composer and cellist.
In both hemispheres, it makes us travel between the torment and passion of post-romantic European composers such as Rachmaninov and Fauré, the heat and fiery rhythms of Argentine composers such as Piazzolla, to finally land here, in Quebec, in this universe inspired and tinged by these two hemispheres.
Lyricism, virtuosity, intensity and discovery: this is what awaits you with Aux deux hémisphères.
General admission 35$ | Student 18$
