Additional Information
For its second concert of the season, the University of Montreal Orchestra (OUM) will focus on the instrumental families that make up an orchestra. Led by the bassoonist and associate professor at the Faculty of Music, the orchestra’s students, whose wind section is particularly prominent in this year’s ensemble, will respond to the intimate and dynamic interplay of the strings in a concert where the orchestra’s diverse colors will interact in varied instrumental dialogues. This is an opportunity for young musicians to listen to different timbres and pay attention to the interplay between their respective instruments and the others, which can take on a new perspective in works ranging from Dukas to Hindemith, Mendelssohn, Mozart, and Brahms.
With Alexandre Villemaire of PAN M 360, Mathieu Lussier discusses these elements as well as his role as an educator in the orchestra as a conductor for students.
