Immerse yourself in the vibrant rhythms and passionate melodies of Flamenco with the Orchestre symphonique de Québec's enchanting concert series. This spellbinding event will take place at the Grand Théâtre de Québec, featuring two performances: the evening show on May 28, 2025, at 8:00 PM, and a matinee on May 29, 2025, at 10:30 AM. Tickets start at $55, offering an accessible way to experience the magic of live classical music.

Under the baton of Clemens Schuldt, the concert will showcase the extraordinary talents of María Toledo, the new face of contemporary Flamenco singing, and Caroline Planté, a masterful Flamenco guitarist. Their performances will be further enriched by the participation of 10 students from the Conservatoire de musique de Québec, adding a fresh and dynamic element to the show.

The program promises a journey from Spain to the Orient, exploring the theme of feminine seduction through pieces like Chabrier's España, de Falla's El amor brujo, and Rimski-Korsakov's Scheherazade. Each piece will be brought to life with the unique flair and deep emotional resonance that only Flamenco can provide.

Before the Wednesday evening concert, attendees are invited to join Clemens Schuldt at 7:00 PM for preludes, offering insights into the creative process and historical context of the music. This is followed by preconcert performances featuring emerging musicians from the Conservatoire de musique de Québec and the Faculté de musique de l’Université Laval.

Thursday morning's concert begins with a welcoming coffee and pastry courtesy of Chartwell, residences for retirees, at 9:00 AM.
