Welcome Note

It was a great pleasure and a huge honour for me to accept, on March 18th 2008, the command and musical direction of the prestigious Musique du Royal 22e Régiment. A true institution of Quebec City, the band performs in all kinds of ceremonies, military parades as well as concerts offered to the general public and to schools. The repertory presented includes different styles of music, like classical, film music, swing, folklore and popular songs, that will delight all audiences alike.

The ensemble is a faithful ambassador of Canadian culture throughout the world. As well as performing all over the province and the whole country, la Musique du Royal 22e Régiment recently presented concerts in Europe, South America and the United States.

We thank you for your interest in our organization and hope to be able to share with you the joy of music in the near future.

Je me souviens,

Major Patrick Picard

Commanding Officer and Director of Music
