WHAT'S CRESCENDO?
For the past ten years, Crescendo has been lighting up British Columbia’s Francophone arts scene! Organized by the Conseil jeunesse francophone, this multidisciplinary event **celebrates the performing arts **and is open to CFS’s students aged 14 to 18.
Crescendo is more than a show, it's unique for its creativity and self-expression, where everyone finds their role, whether you’re on stage or behind the scenes.
With the guidance of experienced professionals, you’ll get the chance to bring a full show to life, from the very first idea to the final curtain call. You can showcase your own act - singing, dancing, theater, circus arts, poetry, music, or any other kind of performance - or dive into the directing and stage production world.
Anything is possible, it all depends on your interests, creativity, and imagination!
Our goal? To give you an unique and meaningful artistic experience. From auditions to the final performance, you’ll receive personalised coaching to help you improve your skills and be part of creating a professional production.
Crescendo is your moment to shine, create, and express yourself!
Crescendo highlights
- In the Talent program, you’ll be guided by professionals to refine your performance, learn new techniques, and boost your creativity.
- If being in the spotlight isn’t for you but you’re drawn to the artistic world, the Backstage program is a perfect fit. You’ll discover the creative process behind the scenes alongside industry professionals and get the chance to explore areas such as artistic direction, sound and lighting design, photography, and video production.
THROWBACK ON 2025 EDITON!
The 2025 edition of LIFC & Crescendo brought together 52 young talents from all over British Columbia for three intense days of coaching, workshops and artistic creation.
🎶 Crescendo this year was built around a strong theme: Urban Bodies. The show explored how youths appropriate urban spaces to express themselves. Each performance transformed the stage into an artistic playground, where music, dance, theater and visual arts gave new voice to the streets, squares and imaginary walls of this reinvented city.
✨ Backstage streams also played a key role this year. Some participants took part in decor construction, video production and image capture to immortalize the event, while others slipped into the role of MC. The MCs took the audience from one tableau to the next with dynamism and fluidity.
🌟This year, the youths had the unique opportunity to be mentored.e.s by bilingual singer Missy D, who also accompanied them on stage. Her energy, talent and commitment left an inspiring mark on this edition.
The adventure ended on a high note with a performance at the Théâtre de l'Alliance Française in front of an audience of 160 people. A vibrant moment, where each participant was able to express their talent and share their art with the audience.
A huge thank you to all those who helped make this edition a success: young people, trainers, coaches, volunteers and partners.See you in 2026 for a new, even more inspiring adventure ✨
