The OSL Winter Classical Festival: Mosaïque nordique directed by Jean-Marie Zeitouni

Interview by Alain Brunet
Genres and styles : période moderne / période romantique

Additional Information

The Orchestre symphonique de Laval fully embraces its northern roots with this Mosaïque nordique, a program led by Montreal conductor Jean-Marie Zeitouni. The program features Quebec composer Jacques Hétu’s Légendes, inspired by three Quebec tales and legends, followed by Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg’s Piano Concerto in A minor, a jewel of Scandinavian Romanticism, performed by Ukrainian pianist Olga Kudriakova, now based in Montreal. In the second half of the program, the main course is Symphony no. 5 by Finnish composer Jean Sibelius, said to “capture the essence of Nordic nature”. Jean-Marie Zeitouni talks all this over with Alain Brunet for PAN M 360, shortly before the program’s performance at Salle André-Mathieu on February 1.
