The OSM is pleased to offer, free of charge, Le bal des enfants 2021: Symphonic Magic, rebroadcast from December 20, 2021, to January 10, 2022. Magician Daniel Coutu presents the BIGGEST magic act ever performed during a concert, making all the musicians of the Orchestra disappear with a single wave of his wand! We can just imagine how this sympathetic friend’s journey is riddled with pitfalls! This children’s concert show, especially designed for children aged 5 to 12, will sprinkle a little magic on your holiday season! A beautiful concert to listen to as a family, with activities and games included!

Daniel Coutu has pursued his passion for magic with dynamism and enthusiasm since 1999. Realizing a childhood dream, this Gatineau-born artist whose golden rule is originality creates extraordinary acts that combine wonder, humour, mediation, and theatricality.  In recognition of his outstanding contribution to children’s programming, in 2020, the Youth Media Alliance awarded him its prestigious Award of Excellence for “Youth Personality.”
