This Saturday, October 17, Arion Orchestre Baroque launches its season for the first time at La Maison symphonique. For this very special occasion, Arion has teamed up once again with the Studio de musique ancienne de Montréal (SMAM) to evoke those Royal Fastes! Andrew McAnerney and Mathieu Lussier have joined forces to perform Handel’s Music for the Royal Fireworks. The planned performance will feature brass instruments in the anthems for the coronation of George II and William Boyce’s anthem for the coronation of George III. Here’s a chance to celebrate England’s coronations through the four works on the program. To find out more about this program, Alain Brunet conducted this video interview with Mathieu Lussier, Artistic Director and Principal Conductor of Arion Orchestre Baroque, on the eve of the opening concert of a new season.
