June 1st - 30th, 2008 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada
The Suoni Per Il Popolo is proud to announce our line-up for another year of the best in the worlds of the avant-garde, experimental and free jazz. We've worked long and hard the past year to ensure that this eighth edition of the festival is our most exciting yet, with performances from a range of local, national and international artists in a variety of genres, at our two beautiful venues (Casa del Popolo & Sala Rossa), and our 'Black Ark' Free Jazz Series.
The Suoni Per Il Popolo is proud to be part of such a dynamic and talented community, where social support, creativity and authenticity is the golden rule. We are very proud to be back for an eighth year. So, in the hope that you will share our enthusiasm toward this promised parade of great artists and musicians that is just around the corner, here's to you, to summer and to the good times!
