Our story
The Painchaud family is the perfect example of what happens when extraordinary skills meet boundless creativity, when talent meets passion.
It all begins with a mother who teaches piano and a father who tunes pianos, a fortunate mix that allows the Painchaud children to develop a prodigious musical ear, perfect pitch. The eldest, Patrice, enters the Conservatoire de Québec at the age of 3, unheard of at the time. Kattialine and Dominic will follow shortly, and all will perfect their instruments to excellence.
From the very beginning, it’s a whirlwind for the Painchauds: at the age of 6, Patrice plays eleven times with the Orchestre Symphonique de Québec. At 9, he performs as a soloist in front of René Lévesque. Successes continue to pile up, and the siblings embark on their first tour in France as the Quatuor Painchaud.
In the 1990s, Patrice expanded his classical music horizons by founding Painchaud Productions. His ambition was to live off his passion, and this is when his entrepreneurial spirit took flight.
From there, he developed a series of exclusive concepts, integrating acrobatic elements into a truly exceptional and bold show. Family values became the foundation of the company, enabling the siblings to stay together throughout their careers and work together on the development of their project. Today, the Painchaud family’s show still includes Patrice, Dominic, and Kattialine Painchaud, as well as Patrick Verret, a member of the family by marriage.
