It is rare indeed for the organ and piano to come together on the same stage for a duo concert. Rarer still is the convening of two brilliant artists such as Éric Le Sage, who makes his first OSM appearance, and the Orchestra’s Organist Emeritus Olivier Latry. Their vividly coloured French program presents original versions of works alongside special musical arrangements, resulting in keyboard playing that is both elegant and convivial.
