With the desire to share its passion with as many people as possible, the OM has committed to offering free concerts in several Montreal parks. In collaboration with the boroughs, the Orchestra aims to contribute to the well-being of everyone through its music, stimulate curiosity, and foster interaction with the public. Under the direction of Montreal conductor Mélanie Léonard, the OM presents a magnificent program that will charm music lovers from all walks of life!
A wind of hope blows with Beethoven's Symphony No. 5, one of the most famous works in the repertoire, which is shaped by the omnipresence of its initial four-note motif: the now-famous three short notes followed by a long, grandiose, and imposing one, which spreads through the orchestra like a rumor. Louise Farrenc's Symphony No. 3 demonstrates the full extent of the talent and formidable melodic inventiveness of this essential composer of the Romantic period of 19th-century musical Paris -- one of the rare female composers of her time to have achieved recognition from her peers during her lifetime -- whose repertoire is part of the legacy of Beethoven, Schubert and Mendelssohn.
