Please note the date of this event has now been changed to the 7th December 2022.

To celebrate the launch of Expo 67 and Its World: Staging the Nation in the Crucible of Globalization (McGill-Queens UP, 2022), Craig Moyes and Steven Palmer invite you to the Chancellor’s Hall of Senate house for a classic “Café-Concert”. Featuring Morgane Lola and the Jack Greenslade Trio, the music will highlight the groundbreaking songs of 1967 that were performed in French and in English at Montreal’s Expo 67. International stars like Petula Clark, Charles Aznavour, Marvin Gaye, and The Beatles, shared the stage with local musical heroes Robert Charlebois, Leonard Cohen, Georges Dor, Renée Claude and others. Included will be a special tribute to one of the greatest jazz pianists of all time (who also performed at Expo), Montreal’s own Oscar Peterson.

The event is hosted by the Quebec and French Canada Research Network (QaFCaRN) and the Department of Languages, Literatures and Cultures at King’s College London, and by the Institute of Languages, Cultures and Societies in the in School of Advanced Study at the University of London. It is generously supported by the Government of Quebec.
