CHRISTMAS
In January 2002, EXTRAVAGANZA became the first cultural institution to join Team Montreal that includes several gay and lesbian sports teams.

Following the request of Moisson Montreal to sing at the assembly of Christmas baskets in 2003, we formed a small choir, besides the "big one", to sing Christmas carols and this is now:
Le P’tit Extra.
In addition to singing for Moisson Montréal, Le P'tit Extra also gave concerts on rue Mont-Royal (outdoors in the cold!). .

Le P'tit Extra reappeared in 2004 with a private concert at the the Golden Beach cottage and a Christmas concert at church Sacred Heart of Jesus in collaboration with Extravaganza. Subsequently, Extravaganza gave concerts at various corporate locations including the "Medley".

In 2005, the ensemble was asked to interpret the "jingle" advertising for Molson beer, Rickard's Red and Christmas carols while walking downtown in the metro on Place Jacques-Cartier and in the bars and restaurants in Old Montreal.

In 2006, as part of "Concert IMAGINE", the ensemble gave a joint Christmas concert with the Montreal Gay Choir under the direction of Francois Monette accompanied by 22 musicians and Mélanie Renaud as guest artist at the church Très-Saint-Nom-de-Jésus of Montreal.

The Vocal Ensemble EXTRAVAGANZA distinguished itself by organizing and participating in cultural and competitive components of the first edition of the World Outgames Rendez-vous Montréal, 2006.
