IMMERSE YOURSELF IN NATURE'S SYMPHONY

In the history of music, there are few works that remain as powerful and iconic as Beethoven’s Ninth. Its Ode to Joy, with its compelling humanistic message inspired by the evocative poetry of Schiller, is a universally familiar melody that never fails to elicit an extraordinarily emotional and celebratory response. For the first time in over fifteen years, this legendary symphonic call to peace, fellowship and love will resound throughout the Amphitheatre, with an elite vocal quartet, Rafael Payare and the OSM kicking off the Festival de Lanaudière’s 2023 edition!

One of the greatest accordionists of recent decades and a standards-defying artist, here is a poet of his instrument whose extraordinary versatility encompasses with equal flair Argentinian tango and Mozart, the world of jazz and Bach, Michel Legrand and Vivaldi! Having just celebrated 50 years of career, the great Richard Galliano makes his Festival debut by paying homage to his predecessors and inspirations. The program features a combination of his own compositions with works by Piazzolla and other icons of jazz and … of classical music!
