A Tribute to the Hornsteins

Amidst celebrations to mark the opening of the new Michal and Renata Hornstein Pavilion for Peace, the Arte Musica Foundation dedicates this concert to two of the Museum’s most generous benefactors.

Michal and Renata Hornstein are lovers of music and of vocal music in particular, which inspired four remarkable musicians to design a diverse programme of opera arias by BIZET, MOZART, PUCCINI, and ROSSINI, as well as songs from the Great American Songbook and West Side Story.

Also attend the lecture Musique pour quelques tableaux de la collection Hornstein on Saturday, November 19.

For the third year, the Arte Musica Foundation joins the Hnatyshyn Foundation in presenting one of its laureates. This year the scholarship winner in vocal performance, Caroline Gélinas, will perform in this concert.
