Sam Champagne is a Canadian tenor, actor, and concert producer whose voice has been praised for its “impeccable intonation, correct diction, expression, and musicality” (Ludwig Van Montreal). As a soloist, Sam “allows us to appreciate the depth of his voice” (Eklectik Media).

​

Since 2024, Sam has been touring extensively across Canada in a wide range of concert productions. He served as lead singer for the Canada-wide tour of Twilight – In Concert, performing in Montréal, Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, and Edmonton at major venues including Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier, Meridian Hall, the Orpheum Theatre, and the Northern and Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditoriums. In 2025, he headlined the Symphonic Bond tour across Québec and Ontario and interpreted the roles of Hans, Kristoff, and Olaf in Frozen – In Concert, performing alongside the FILMharmonique Orchestra.

​

In 2026, Sam will join Marc Hervieux and Mia Tinayre for the Québec-wide tour of Sinatra Symphonique, comprising nearly 20 performances. This year, he will also make his debut as Pang in the Orchestre Philharmonique et Chœur des Mélomanes’ (OPCM) concert production of Puccini’s Turandot at the Maison symphonique. Previous operatic roles with the OPCM include El Remendado in Bizet’s Carmen (2024) and Parpignol in Puccini’s La bohème (2023).

​

In 2024, Sam appeared as a special guest artist with his classical-crossover trio LYRICO for Sarah Brightman’s A Christmas Symphony at Place Bell. He has also performed as part of Andrea Bocelli’s concert tours at Montréal’s Bell Centre in 2018 and 2024, singing before audiences of more than 18,000 people.

​

Sam founded LYRICO in 2021, bringing classically trained voices to repertoire ranging from opera to pop. Following a successful debut at Théâtre Maisonneuve with A Very Operatic Christmas, the trio became a staple of Québec’s music scene, touring Montréal and Québec City at Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier, the Grand Théâtre de Québec, and the Maison symphonique between 2021 and 2024. The group later toured Québec with The Best of Broadway, culminating in their Maison symphonique debut with An Enchanted Evening. In December 2022, LYRICO released its first album, Noël à l’opéra, available on all streaming platforms.

​

In parallel with his performing career, Sam has served as Executive Director of the Orchestre Philharmonique et Chœur des Mélomanes (OPCM) since 2019. Founded in Montréal in 2016, the OPCM is a non-profit organization dedicated to inspiring a new generation of music lovers through large-scale orchestral, choral, and operatic productions. Under Sam’s leadership, the organization has grown its endowment fund to over seven figures, ensuring the long-term presentation of ambitious symphonic and operatic works throughout Québec.

Originally from Ottawa, Sam holds a Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance with a minor in Musical Entrepreneurship from McGill University (2017–2021). He is the recipient of the Wayne Riddell Choral Award, the Leonne O’Hashi Bursary, and the Seymour Schulich Scholarship.
