About this event
In this condensed, one-hour Express program performed without intermission, the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal highlights the individuality and expressive richness of its musicians in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. The evening opens with Borodin’s Polovtsian Dances, a sensual whirlwind that summons every orchestral section to display virtuosity ranging from wild to tender, turning the orchestra into a constellation of soloists. The program continues with Rimsky-Korsakov’s Sheherazade, where the voice of the solo violin traces the destiny of the heroine from One Thousand and One Nights. Supple and mesmerizing violin lines sketch her strategies, doubts, gentleness, and audacity as she gradually tames the sultan and turns her storytelling into salvation.
