What is Fono?
Fono is the new music festival at Université Laval in Quebec City. Inspired by the word phono, a shortened form of phonograph, the device designed to reproduce sound, it’s the perfect symbol for an event where the sound experience takes precedence. During the last weekend of summer, Fono will extend the beautiful season with the sounds of top musical artists. It's an opportunity to turn up the volume and let summer resonate on a festive note. University is back, and the celebration of great music and good times continues!
