Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal
Le Sacre du Printemps
Rafael Payare donnera le coup d’envoi de la 90e saison de l’OSM avec deux œuvres exceptionnelles. Animé d’une incomparable puissance rythmique, Le Sacre du printemps de Stravinsky déploie une farouche énergie à laquelle on ne peut échapper. Une vitalité et une joie presque explosive se manifestent également dans la Messe glagolitique de Janáček.

Les Mythiques planètes de Holst
L’OSM vous convie à un voyage musical dans le cosmos avec Les Planètes de Holst. Depuis les tuttis fracassants de Mars jusqu’aux sonorités mystérieuses de Neptune, Holst varie les couleurs orchestrales et crée des « peintures d’atmosphères ». En première à Montréal, l’Orchestre interprètera Blurr is the Colour of My True Love’s Eyes de la compositrice canadienne Nicole Lizée, un concerto pour percussions évoluant en une suite de spirales qui s’entremêlent au fil de l’œuvre.

True Concord
Songs of America
With his Voiceless Mass, Raven Chacon became the first Native American winner of the Pulitzer Prize in Music. This work considers the spaces in which we gather, the history of access to these spaces and the land upon which these buildings sit. Songs of America, a signature repertoire for True Concord, includes African-American Spirituals arranged by Moses Hogan and William Grant Still, folk songs by Stephen Foster, including Beautiful Dreamer and Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair and music of the Sonoran Desert.

True Concord
This is How You Love
True Concord celebrates its first-ever Co-Composers-in-Residence, married couple Jocelyn Hagen and Timothy C. Takach, with their Southwest premiere of This Is How You Love. This multi-movement work explores the depths of relationships – infatuation, need, companionship, conflict, compromise, and love. The libretto is a mixture of different poets threaded together with transcripts from couples therapy sessions – the music is immediately accessible and will take you on a deeply meaningful and emotional journey.
