On Sunday night (Nov. 9), the 47th edition of the Gala de l’ADISQ lit up Place des Arts in Montreal, celebrating Québec music in all its richness and diversity. Hosted with sharp wit by Pierre-Yves Roy-Desmarais, the ceremony spotlighted artists who are shaping the province’s musical landscape, from poetic storytelling to avant-pop experimentation and contagious onstage energy.
The evening’s two biggest winners were Klô Pelgag and Lou-Adriane Cassidy (also a big winner at the Premier Gala on Nov. 5), each taking home multiple Félix trophies and cementing their place at the forefront of a bold new generation of Québec singer-songwriters.
