Orchestre Symphonique de Montreal - Payare Conducts Poulenc and Sibelius

Payare Conducts Poulenc and Sibelius brings the Orchestre Symphonique de Montreal to Place des Arts for an evening focused on two distinct European voices. This program highlights Francis Poulenc's concerto for two pianos, a piece known for its blend of neoclassical structure and playful dissonances, alongside Jean Sibelius's Symphony No. 2, which offers a journey through Nordic romanticism and a powerful, affirmative finale. This performance on Thursday, September 24, 2026, at Place des Arts in Montreal, QC, offers a chance to hear a major orchestra in a dedicated concert hall setting. It's a good fit for those who appreciate orchestral depth and the emotional range of 20th-century classical composers.
