History
editATMA Classique was founded in Montreal in 1994 by Johanne Goyette[1] and has made a name for itself through the sound quality of its recordings and its choice of bold projects.
The label is more committed than ever to producing and recording the unique moments of inspiration of its talented musicians,[2] with whom it has established warm and intimate relationships based on mutual trust.
On 1 April 2020, ATMA Classique was acquired by the Ad Litteram group, founded by Guillaume Lombart in 1998.[3]
Today, the label's catalogue includes more than 700 releases, ranging from medieval music to contemporary music, baroque music, world music, tango, chanson, and symphonic works.[4] The albums are distributed in 25 countries and are available on all music streaming platforms.
Several recordings released by the company have won Juno, Opus and Felix Awards.[5]
