Ça fait 50 ans qu'on se connait

About this show

Beau Dommage, the seminal band whose music has spanned the ages, will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the release of their first album in 2024. For this occasion, Productions Martin Leclerc, in agreement with the band members, announce a grandiose encounter between the Orchestre Métropolitain and their music, in a symphonic version of their greatest hits. Eleven performers will lend their voices to this unique event: Alexandre Désilets, Allyson Pétrin, Audrey-Louise Beauséjour, Audrey-Michèle, Coral Egan, David Latulippe, Franck Julien, Jules, Krystel Mongeau, Lyxé and Sophie Grenier.

This 90-minute concert, entitled Ça fait 50 ans qu'on se connaît, will bring a new dimension to their repertoire, featuring songs chosen by the band themselves - the must-haves, of course, but also the full-length version of Un incident à Bois-des-Filion, sure to be a highlight of the show. Adam Johnson will conduct the Orchestre Métropolitain for the occasion, while Antoine Gratton will write the arrangements and musical direction. Stage direction will be entrusted to Michel Poirier. Lyricist Pierre Huet and drummer Réal Desrosiers are the project's artistic advisors.

Ça fait 50 ans qu'on se connaît celebrates a timeless love affair between Beau Dommage and the public, so much so that 50 years on, several generations are still humming its songs. By elevating everyday life to the status of urban poetry, the now-legendary group set a milestone in Quebec music history. Beau Dommage was, is and will be. The show Ça fait 50 ans qu'on se connaît with the Orchestre Métropolitain will demonstrate this with panache.
