Resounding Beethoven – May 10, Maison Symphonique LiveEvents May 5, 2019 1287 Orchestre Métropolitain presents Resounding Beethoven Nicolas Ellis, the young conductor with a promising future, whom the Orchestre welcomes as its artistic partner, leads this concert featuring works by the iconic Beethoven. The expressive Leonore Overture No. 3 is so compelling that it is often performed without the opera Fidelio which it is supposed to accompany. Beethoven’s Symphony No. 4 impresses with its beauty and refined writing. Returning to the OM after a stay with the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, trumpet player Stéphane Beaulac premiers the Trumpet Concerto of Montrealer-by-adoption Stacey Brown, with whom the Orchestre has worked in the past and whose music charmed musicians and audiences alike. BEETHOVEN: Leonore Overture No. 3 S. BROWN: Trumpet Concerto (premiere) BEETHOVEN: Symphony No. 4 Preconcert talks Mario F. Paquet invites the public to discover the works on the program during a free 30-minute bilingual chat with the concert players. Young Music Lovers Preludes A musical performance by young musicians takes place in the Foyer Allegro 30 minutes before the beginning of each concert presented at the Maison symphonique de Montréal.
