Conductor Francis Choinière wanted to celebrate the end of the Orchestre Philharmonique et Chœur des Mélomanes’ (OPCM) tenth season with the Holy Grail of any self-respecting conductor and orchestra: a Mahler symphony. In this case, the Second, entitled Resurrection, which will be performed at the Maison symphonique de Montréal on Saturday 24 May at 7.30pm.
I spoke to the conductor who, despite his growing experience, is still in the ‘young’ category. Will he ever grow old? Haha.
