Additional Information

The Orchestre symphonique de Laval (OSL) kicks off its season this Wednesday, October 30, with the Violin Concerto by German composer Felix Mendelssohn, one of the most sought-after works in the classical repertoire. OSL concertmaster and Molinari Quartet violinist Antoine Bareil will perform under guest conductor Adam Johnson. Also on the program, the OSL will perform one of the rare orchestral works by Felix’s elder sister, Fanny Mendelssohn. In addition, music lovers in Laval will be treated to Russian composer Modest Moussorgsky’s seminal work Pictures at an Exhibition, imagined following a visit to a retrospective of the works of painter and architect Viktor Hartmann, a close friend of the composer. Alexandre Villemaire interviewed Antoine Bareil, whose comments on this program should make your mouth water.
