The OSL Winter Classical Festival: Baroque-Style with Mathieu Lussier

Interview by Alexandre Villemaire
Genres and styles : Baroque / Classical

Additional Information

For the first concert of the fourth edition of its Winter Classical Festival, the Orchestre symphonique de Laval welcomes Mathieu Lussier, conductor of Arion Orchestre Baroque. With his energy and musical verve, Mathieu Lussier will take us on a journey through 18th-century Europe, with composers such as Handel, Albinoni, Vivaldi and Quantz. Three outstanding OSL musicians will be in the spotlight: Jean-Philippe Tanguay on flute, Michel Bettez on bassoon and Lindsay Roberts on oboe, in a program that highlights the rich sonorities and passions of the period.

Our contributor Alexandre Villemaire sat down with conductor Lussier ahead of the opening concert to discuss the Baroque repertoire, its history and its preconceptions.
