As part of their Prestige & Patrimoine series, GSI Musique and Oziko present Ferland symphonique; a bold, vibrant tribute to the work of the Petit Roi, the unique Jean-Pierre Ferland. This epic musical journey will come to life thanks to the symphonic arrangements of Blair Thomson and will be performed by the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal, under the baton of conductor Alain Trudel. Scenography and mise-en-scène elements will be announced shortly. In the image of the artist Ferland was, it will all be very poetic.

Ferland Symphonique

Place des Arts

Haydn played a key role in the evolution of the string quartet, and his final Quartet Op. 77  No. 2 is full of subtle experimentation that is both inventive and elegant. Meanwhile, Shostakovich reinterprets classical forms in his Quintet, infusing it with his deeply personal language and profound emotional intensity.
