A grand concert to close the Orchestre classique de Montréal's 85th season with Memengwenyig by Anishinaabe composer Barbara Assiginaak, a contemporary piece that blends elements of traditional Indigenous music with modern sounds on the theme of the flight of butterflies. Then, Pierre Mercure's majestic work, Cantate pour une joie, a work full of optimism and brotherhood. Finally, Beethoven's breathtaking 9th Symphony, a monumental work that embodies both the depth of the human soul and the power of musical expression.
Elizabeth Polese (soprano), Florence Bourget (mezzo-soprano), Eric Laporte (tenor), and David John Pike (bass) will be the talented soloists, accompanied by the St. Lawrence Choir for a concert conducted by Philippe Bourque at the Maison Symphonique. It will be an exhilarating experience!
