Adventure Awaits

Like rivers flow across borders, music reaches the hearts of anyone who listens. It transcends our differences by appealing to a common denominator: human emotions. Regardless of where you come from, prepare to float down the river with Indigenous composer Barbara Assiginaak’s Eko-Bmijwang (As long in time as the river flows), get carried away with Ravel’s La valse, and be dazzled by Saint-Saëns’s Concerto No. 2. Get ready to shed a few tears listening to the heart-wrenching melodies of Tchaikovsky’s “Pathétique” symphony, which was on the program for Yannick Nézet-Séguin’s debut as the OM’s artistic director 25 years ago. This musical choice is just right for the OM’s second European tour, which will bring music to audiences.
