L’Harmonie des jeunes de la Virée is an ensemble of some sixty students from six Montreal-area schools. Formerly known as the Orchestre à vents de l’Île, the band presented two performances as part of the Virée classique’s concerts for young musicians, directed by Stéphane Forgues. The ensemble will be coached by the Fédération des harmonies et orchestres symphoniques du Québec as well as Frédérique Asselin from Collège Notre-Dame.

Schools: Collège Notre-Dame, Joseph-François Perrault, FACE, Pensionnat Saint-Nom-de-Marie, Collège Laval and Collège Jean-Eudes.
