Report on the 2010 FVA: Artists with verve and audiences in synch
News posted Tuesday, February 16, 2010
The 9th annual Festival Voix d’Amériques ran February 5 to 12 2010 and frankly, it
was staggering! There were packed rooms, but FVA audiences are the best—attentive,
engaged, letting artists perform with emotion and candour. We keep hearing it said:
the people who come to the FVA are a huge part of its success, welcoming our
innovative approach and the surprises we present every year. In concrete terms, we
filled the rooms to 95% capacity, a 10% increase over 2009.
The 2010 FVA: Different voices. You’ll be touched.

Winter drags on and by February, it’s a real drag. Which is precisely why the
Festival Voix d’Amériques (FVA) continues to brave that most frigid of months to
offer Montreal audiences some much needed cozying. No moving the Festival dates to
June for us!
We’re always amazed at the FVA’s capacity to come back year after year as fresh
and original as ever. Still under the direction of the tireless D. Kimm, the
9th FVA runs February 5 to 12 with a program that confirms its
commitment to performance, interdisciplinarity and deviance. And in 2010, we’re
making room for girls with quite a mouth on them.
