The 9th edition of the Classical Spree, and the first for Maestro Rafael Payare, will be synonymous with discovery and daring! From the Far North to the Tierra del Fuego, this OSM summer event in Montreal’s Quartier des spectacles offers an occasion to immerse yourself in some of the various languages, music and cultures that have inhabited the vast land known as the Americas for centuries.
