Monique Giroux

They say that… I am an animator, producer, expert-consultant of the French institution Académie Charles-Cros, Knight of the Order of the Arts and Letters of the French Republic, wow do people talk! I have to say that I admire those who risk it all, who involve themselves wholly and who live for the creation of art. I receive great artists on the Radio-Canada, Espace Musique, musical program I host and I carry the torch for francophone culture in the way that others enter into religion. In my space time I make plans for the future, mainly related to renovations, I pet my cats and I travel. I always have a ticket in hand to France, Mexico, New York or Iceland. I enjoy the sun and the rain, music and silence, and a crowd as well as solitude. I am a supporter of the organization “Impatients”, an organization that helps people suffering with mental illnesses through the use of art therapy. I fully encourage “Jeunes Musiciens du Monde” the group that create music schools in India and Quebec for kids living in difficulty and I am the spokesperson of the “Fondation Émergence” an organization that helps in the fight against homophobia. There are times when I do nothing, don’t speak to anyone and don’t think of anything…like everyone else.
