Classica 2026 | Supertramp Symphonic: ALL the British Band’s Classics Performed

Interview by Ariel Rutherford

Genres and styles : pop symphonique

Additional Information

A singer himself and former member of La Bande Magnétique, Simon Fournier has since turned his hand to (among other things) orchestral and choral conducting, and has regularly taken on the role of maestro for the Classica Festival’s symphonic rock and pop productions since 2017. In this case, he talks to us about the Supertramp Symphonic concept, presented this Thursday, June 11, at 7:30 p.m., at the Saint-Antoine-de-Padoue Co-Cathedral in Longueuil. ALL of Supertramp’s classics will undoubtedly be performed live by the Classica Festival Orchestra, a rock band led by singer Ariel Coulombe, and the ArtChoral ensemble. A highlight is in store for Classica 2026!
