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.
