Looking back on an unforgettable evening:
Bulles Jazz Montréal 2025
When dance meets philanthropy
On Thursday, May 8, 2025, at the Atrium des Grands Ballets, more than 200 guests celebrated art, movement, and philanthropy during a breathtaking evening where we began to forge valuable bonds with new donors and partners. Bulles Jazz Montréal brought surprise, connection, emotion, and new opportunities. We had dreamed of an evening that would bring donors closer to our mission, create a sense of belonging, and, most importantly, convey emotion that would allow us to imagine the future together. What we have sown, we must now nurture. Strengthen our relationships with sincerity, boldness, and consistency. Turn momentum into commitment. Make this gathering a pillar, a tradition, a driving force for what's to come.
Thank you to our donors for your confidence.
An immersion into creation
Guests were immersed in the world of Joie de vivre, a piece by Norwegian choreographer Jo Strømgren, and had the rare privilege of witnessing the final rehearsal moments just days before the world premiere.
A festive evening with local flavours
In the Atrium, the atmosphere was celebratory: local cheeses, a signature cocktail, refined wine pairings, and inspiring encounters between friends, donors, and artists.
