Orchestre de la Francophonie

Simon Rivard, Conductor

The interpretation of Beethoven's nine symphonies exceeds the musical challenge, offering a profound exploration of the composer's stylistic evolution. The Orchestre de la francophonie has nevertheless decided to perform them all over five days in a row. It is this concert at the Maison symphonique that closes the event with Symphonies 8 and 9, which are true gems.

Symphony No. 8, full of subtle humor, and Symphony No. 9, with its Ode to Joy , a hymn to brotherhood, embody Beethoven's humanitarian ideals. These complex works, with their universal emotions, invite reflection on current issues, inspiring and deeply touching the audience. An unforgettable emotional experience.

Featuring soloists, Amelia Wawrzon (soprano), Isabella Cuminato (mezzo-soprano), Sébastien Comtois (tenor) & Matt Mueller (bass).
