The Orchestre symphonique de Montréal and Rafael Payare offer up a thrilling Beethoven 9 to close the season.

A fresh approach to two late Mozart works earned the adulation of a Montreal Symphony Orchestra audience.

It is a high order to mount a captivating performance of a work so widely known and performed as Handel's Messiah. 

Kent Nagano and OSM wowed with cerebral approach to Carmina Burana.

The OSM closes out the 2015-16 season with all guns blazing and an ethereal flag of peace in a splendid battle of Britten.

It was no Christmas miracle, but the OSM's technically strong Bach concert brought a dignified kind of cheer to the most wonderful time of the year.

Kent Nagano and the OSM came up trumps in concert version of Debussy’s Pelléas et Mélisande.

The OSM chorus and a well-matched quartet of Canadian soloists dominate the OSM’s Messiah conducted by Andrew Megill. 

Christmastime comes with its musical traditions, from sing-along Messiahs to Christmas carols to Mariah Carey singing “All I Want for Christmas is You”. And there’s no denying that shouting any of the above at the top of your lungs will immediately get you into the Christmas spirit.
