Conductor

A heady evening awaits, rich with storytelling, comedy and drama. We open with Lutosławski’s Little Suite, with its driving energy inspired by Polish folk songs, and close the concert with a virtuosic violin taking the narrator’s role in Rimsky-Korsakov’s series of hedonistic musical adventures, Scheherazade. A characterful duo is required to give life to all the humour of Shostakovich’s Concerto No.1 for Piano, Trumpet and Strings – the one and only Barry Douglas is joined by trumpet player Niall Keatley for this performance.

Immerse yourself in the enchanting world of northern landscapes with the Orchestre symphonique de Québec's tribute concert, "Hommage aux paysages nordiques." This captivating performance is scheduled for October 16, 2024, at 8:00 PM, taking place at the prestigious Palais Montcalm. Tickets start at $55, offering an accessible way for all to experience the magic of classical music.

Under the baton of the talented Polish conductor Anna Sułkowska-Migoń, and featuring the virtuosic Korean pianist Joyce Yang, the evening promises an unforgettable journey through musical masterpieces. The concert will open with Verdi's powerful overture to "La forza del destino," a piece commissioned by Tsar Alexander II of Russia, which sets the stage with its theme of passionate love. Following this, the audience will be treated to Grieg's Piano Concerto, a homage to the composer's deep love for his wife and newborn daughter, inspired by his walks in the Norwegian countryside. The journey concludes with Mendelssohn's Symphony No. 3, "Scottish," evoking the misty landscapes and rugged beauty of the Scottish Highlands.

Enhance your concert experience by joining Benjamin René for the prelude talks starting at 7:00 PM. These insightful sessions offer a deeper understanding of the creative process and historical context behind the compositions.
