Tonight is the second of three special concerts in which Verdun stars perform to help celebrate the hundredth birthday of an important heritage site in the borough.<\/p>\n

Marl\u00e8ne Drolet and three other artists will create a \u201cSoir\u00e9e Napolitaine\u201d performance tonight. The event takes place in the Notre-Dame-des-Sept-Douleurs Church, 4155 rue Wellington at 7:30 p.m. Entrance costs $5.<\/p>\n

Last week, Mich\u00e8le Bolduc, Manuel Blais and Simon Chauss\u00e9 created the soir<\/i>\u00e9<\/i>e des grandes valses<\/i>.<\/p>\n

For frequent concert attendee Fabiola Renaud, the best song during that concert was the \u201cduo des chats\u201d in which the performers even wore cat masks.<\/p>\n

The church is so beautiful, it\u2019s nice to look around as the singing surrounds you,\u201d she said. \u201cIt was more of a play, not only music.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Renaud was particularly moved by the performers\u2019 stories about growing up in the shadow of Notre-Dame-des-Sept-Douleurs.<\/p>\n

One of the performers spoke about his father owning the pharmacy across the street,\u201d she said. \u201cHis father used to play piano at the back of the pharmacy and he would sing along. It was so touching. I was listening and I was so charmed. It made me proud to live in Verdun too.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Next Wednesday, March 26 will be the third performance in the hometown series. Popular hometown singer Annie Comtois will pay tribute to the heros and heroines of French music by performing the best known works of Charles Aznavour, Edith Piaf, Dalida and Jacques Brel.<\/p>\n

Her performance will begin at 7:30 p.m.<\/p>\n

The hometown concert series is the fourth celebration in a year of centenary events. It accompanies the launch of an 80-page guide to the church and its history.<\/p>\n

The church also plans to display an exposition about Catholic architecture throughout Quebec during its open doors from June until July.<\/p>\n

In August, on the weekend of the 28, 29 and 30, there will be a three-day outdoor festival, including a mass.<\/p>\n

The final celebration of the Notre-Dame-des-Sept-Douleurs Church Centenary will take place on October 26 followed by a birthday brunch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
