In keeping with its educational mandate, Chants de Vielles not only develops programming for young audiences as part of its summer festival, but also provides specialized musical initiation for children, helping to meet a need for the transmission of Quebec’s musical and singing traditions. More specifically, TRADALANNÉE! includes awareness-raising activities in the region’s schools, an intergenerational oral transmission activity using a photobooth, and activities in day-care centers and municipal leisure activities. Combined with the festival’s programming for young audiences, these activities have been a resounding success, making a major contribution to the development of the organization’s regional clientele.
