The Conservatory of Music of Montérégie, an organization whose mission is the training and dissemination of emerging musical talent, was founded in 2003. In addition, Classique pour tous allows you to discover concerts performed by professional musicians, many of whom are also members of the CMM’s teaching faculty.

Education

The education component takes place at the Saint‑Lambert Community Center (600 Oak Avenue), from September through June, and is aimed primarily at residents of Saint‑Lambert. Participants also come from other cities in Montérégie and Greater Montréal. The Conservatory offers lessons for all instruments, as well as for a number of ensembles. During the summer period, we also offer courses through our music camp.

Performance Component

The performance component gives musicians the opportunity to present concerts as part of several annual events organized by the City of Saint-Lambert: the Cultural Season Kickoff, Culture Days, Cultural Rendezvous, Saint-Lambert Celebrations, Festival Classica, and Christmas concerts throughout Greater Montréal. Through its annual concerts—some of which take place in Saint-Lambert churches—the Conservatory of Music of Montérégie helps to showcase the region’s cultural heritage. It also contributes to promoting the City of Saint-Lambert by presenting concerts in major venues such as Théâtre Maisonneuve, Maison Symphonique, and the Cinquième Salle at Place des Arts.

About the founder

Marie-Anne Rozankovic, a classically trained violinist, founded the Conservatory of Music in Saint-Lambert in 2003. She studied at the Vincent-d’Indy School of Music, the Conservatoire de musique du Québec in Montréal, as well as at McGill University and the Université de Montréal.

Marie-Anne has taught violin for more than thirty years and has directed string ensembles and chamber music groups at the Conservatoire de la Montérégie and the Vincent-d’Indy School of Music. She remains active on the music scene with several ensembles, including Les Chambristes du Grand Montréal, the Orchestre national de jazz, and the Orchestre du Festival Classica, where she serves as orchestra director and manager. She has performed in prestigious venues such as Maison symphonique, Théâtre Maisonneuve, the Cinquième Salle at Place des Arts, Théâtre Outremont, Théâtre St-Denis, the Cabaret du Lion d’Or, as well as in historic venues throughout Montérégie and Greater Montreal.

Marie-Anne also toured in Canada, the United States, France, and Spain from the 1990s through 2017. She regularly produces concerts and events for which she also serves as artistic director.

Marie-Anne frequently collaborates with artists from the local music scene. As a chamber musician, she has taken part in several performances, including Musica Femina, Max Richter’s Recomposed: The Four Seasons, and Carmen in June 2025, as part of Festival Classica.

In 2025, she also performed in the Jazz and Strings concert series and in the production Vivaldi to Richter: The Four Seasons, for which she served as artistic director.

More recently, in May and June 2026, Marie-Anne performed with the Orchestre du Festival Classica as part of several Festival Classica productions, including the complete performance of L’Heptade at Théâtre St-Denis, Pink Floyd Symphonique at Théâtre Maisonneuve, as well as Supertramp and The Great Classics of Michel Legrand at the Co-Cathedral of Saint-Antoine-de-Padoue.

Following the success of the December 2025 concert series A Charlie Brown Christmas, performed at Notre-Dame Basilica, the Cinquième Salle, and in Montérégie, a 20-concert tour will take place across Quebec in 2026. The tour will include A Charlie Brown Christmas – Symphonic Tribute at Maison symphonique on December 22.

Marie-Anne served on the Saint-Lambert Cultural Committee from 2017 to 2022 as the representative for the performing arts.
