This program brings together three contrasting works, each exploring the theme of hope in the face of hardship.
López and Childs delve into the pain of displacement and loss, while Mahler, in his quest for a transcendent refuge, paints a luminous picture of the heavenly joys of childhood. A compelling program that uses the power of classical music to inspire reflection on humanity, spiritual yearning, and the beauty of life.

Set sail on an epic adventure with Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl – In Concert!
A spectacular choir and orchestra, with three outstanding vocal soloists, revive a grand medieval fresco, paired with Rachmaninov’s diabolical virtuosity and Lera Auerbach’s mythological inspiration. That's what the Festival de Lanaudière is offering you for their opening concert!
For this second evening of his return to the Festival, Kent Nagano conducts the OSM with the elegance and intensity that defined his years at the helm of the orchestra.
