Free concert by Sophie Lukacs in Square Phillips

Montreal centre-ville’s member companies invite you to Square Phillips for a lively afterwork this summer. Throughout the summer season, enjoy free concerts in the splendid Square Phillips. On June 25, Sophie Lukacs will entertain the square!

Sophie Lukacs is a Budapest born, Montreal based artist, who grew up studying the violin and western classical music. Of Jewish Hungarian descent, she is most inspired by music’s power to move and bring people together. She is the grand-daughter of Eva Fahidi, a prominent writer and dancer who survived the Holocaust, and with whom she sang her first Hungarian folk songs.

Sophie releases her LP “Bamako,” in 2023, written and recorded mostly in Mali, featuring two tracks with the legendary Habib Koité. The album is awarded the Global Roots Album of the Year at the 2024 Canadian Folk Music Awards, and is praised in SONGLINES journal as a “splendid debut album” with “rich and lyrical” playing. On stage, Sophie performs with cello and percussion and sings in all the languages she speaks: English, French, Hungarian and Bambara.
