Origin
The festival was created in 1998, by Jacques DuSault, which wanted to offer outdoors music shows to emphasize the Old Quebec City. The Canadian Armed forces were invited to contribute, with the implication of the retired lieutenant-colonel Yvan Lachance, old ordering of the Voltigeurs de Québec, and major Denis Bernier, then directing the Military Band of the Royal 22e Régiment.

Famous quotes containing the word origin:
“Our theism is the purification of the human mind. Man can paint, or make, or think nothing but man. He believes that the great material elements had their origin from his thought.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“We have got rid of the fetish of the divine right of kings, and that slavery is of divine origin and authority. But the divine right of property has taken its place. The tendency plainly is towards ... “a government of the rich, by the rich, and for the rich.””
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“The origin of storms is not in clouds,
our lightning strikes when the earth rises,
spillways free authentic power:
dead John Brown’s body walking from a tunnel
to break the armored and concluded mind.”
—Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)
