PRESENTERS
Based in Quebec City, the ensemble Duo Fleur d’Ange includes vocalist Angelina Lynne and harpist Yu-Fen Liu and was formed in 2022. They feel fortunate to have come into contact with each other during the pandemic and decided to share their passion for music together. Since then, the Quebec City duo has performed in the festival series Les Micros-Shows de Beaupré, in benefit concerts for the Manor Mauvide-Genest at the Église de-Saint-Jean-de I’Île d’Orléans, and at the Eastman School of Music in New York. Besides performing public concerts, they also enjoy performing for private events, such as for the lovely residents of the Saint-Brigid’s senior care home in Quebec City regularly.
Together, they represent a classic and angelic marriage of voice and harp, offering a multilingual repertoire of varied styles, from classical to contemporary, jazz, traditional and pop, that speaks to all ages and a combination of instrumental sounds that appeals to all. This musical duo will leave you inspired as they celebrate and share their joy of music!
ANGELINA LYNNE
Angelina Lynne is a versatile singer, musician, and educator currently residing on Île d’Orléans. A classically trained soprano, Angelina enjoys singing in many genres. She has performed in various recitals, concerts, and festivals in Canada and abroad, in the Middle East, Europe, New Zealand, the United States, and Mexico. She holds a Bachelor of Music degree, a Master’s degree in performance (voice), and is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in music education at Université Laval. As a music educator and lifelong learner, Angelina’s passion for music has taken her across the globe. Passing on her love of singing to the next generation is paramount. She has served as artistic director and vocal coach for various musical theatre productions and youth choirs and in Canada and Belgium. She maintains an active music studio, teaching voice and piano in French and English. Her love of singing is contagious as she encourages people of all ages to use their voices and sing for joy!

Come hear Miles Wolff, the founding father of Quebec Capitales, present his book There’s a Bulldozer on Home Plate: A 50-Year Journey in Minor League Baseball in which he recounts how his experiences lead to the founding of modern independent baseball.
Miles Wolff
During his 50-year career, Miles Wolff blazed the trail for hundreds of professional baseball teams across North America. Wolff is considered the “Godfather of Independent Baseball” after resurrecting the Northern League as a non-affiliated circuit in 1993. In addition to serving as Commissioner of the American Association from 2006 to 2019, he also served in that role for the Northern League (1993-2002), the Central League (2002-2005), the Northeast League (2003-2004) and the Can-Am League (2005-2018). Wolff is also the former owner of the Durham Bulls, the Quebec Capitales, the Burlington Royals, and ten other minor league, independent, and summer collegiate teams. He is the former publisher and owner of Baseball America, and Total Baseball, the official encyclopedia of Major League Baseball, named him among the top 100 individuals in the history of baseball.

The festival programming will be revealed in July.
The Arts Alive! Quebec festival started as an initiative by the English-language Arts Network, a not-for-profit organization that connects, supports, and promotes Quebec’s English-speaking artists and art communities. Over the past years, several regions throughout the province have participated in Arts Alive! Quebec. These festivals have featured their local artistic communities with events reflecting local tastes and customs. Arts Alive! Quebec is an opportunity to come together and to celebrate local English-language creativity while building bridges between English-speaking and French-speaking communities.
This project is made possible by the support of the Government of Canada and of Québecor.

Are you new to Québec City and looking for something fun to do? The Voice of English-speaking Quebec invites you for a fun-filled evening at the Newcomers Free Sunset Ferry Ride on Tuesday, August 27 from 5:40 to 8:30 PM.
We will ride the ferry to Quai Paquet in Lévis that leaves at 5:40 PM. Once there, we can grab some food or some ice cream (or both!) from the food trucks available or from the ice cream shop located one block away from the Quai, while getting to know each other! We will be returning on the 8:00 PM ferry (to Québec). We will bring board games to facilitate your interaction with others. At the Quai, there are 160 water jets, perfect to refresh you, so make sure you bring or wear your sandals or why not your swimsuit! If you are an avid photographer, you can also check out the Red stairs (193 steps) located two blocks away from the Quai, and admire the beauty of the view from atop. There is also a café near the Quai, not far from the ice cream shop. Feeling like picknicking? By all means, bring your own snacks and a picnic blanket or portable chairs!
The fees for the ferry ride are covered for participants and the event is open to all! Registration is required and we have a limited number of places.
The Ferris Wheel ride and any other purchases (like meals) are not covered.
