Aliocha Schneider Dazzles FEQ with Free Concert and Surprise Moments
Last night at the Festival d'été de Québec (FEQ), Aliocha Schneider delivered an unforgettable and emotionally rich performance that drew crowds despite the lingering drizzle in the air. For those lucky enough to attend the free concert at Place de l'Assemblée-Nationale, it was more than just a show — it was a full-bodied artistic experience that perfectly captured the spirit of summer festivals in Quebec.

Aliocha, known for his poetic songwriting and soulful melodies, took center stage as the headlining act on Monday, July 7th, 2025. Best known for his songs Ensemble and Avant elle , Schneider brought a deep intimacy to the festival scene, creating a rare bond with the audience. But what really stirred anticipation was the strong hint he dropped earlier in the day: “It’s very possible there’ll be a duet tonight,” he said, referring to his partner, singer Charlotte Cardin. The possibility of the couple performing together added an electric excitement in the crowd — and though it remained a surprise until the very last minute, those who stayed through the rain were rewarded.
The performance was part of a wider celebration at both FEQ and the FestiVoix de Trois-Rivières, where Schneider also performed under the moody skies just a day before. Despite scattered showers, the audience stayed loyal — ponchos, umbrellas, and all — showing a true dedication to the music. It was a scene filled with quiet moments of lyrical introspection, followed by sudden bursts of joy and applause that swept through the crowd. The ambiance of smaller stages like the Monastère helped amplify this intimacy, allowing the audience to be fully immersed in the performance. In fact, many artists commented on how attentively the crowd listened, even poking fun at the almost sacred silence.
Festival organizers have already deemed this 32nd edition of FestiVoix historic, with programming that ranged from rock to folk, from powerhouse acts like The Fray to introspective performances like Schneider’s. According to artistic director Thomas Grégoire, the event succeeded in uniting people of all ages and backgrounds through music. It wasn't just a showcase of talent — it was a celebration of community, connection, and resilience against the rain.
Aliocha Schneider’s presence, both serene and magnetic, felt like a highlight in a season already rich with musical treasures. His authenticity, paired with the whispered promise of a duet with Charlotte Cardin, turned a simple summer night into a memory that lingered long after the final note.
