Orchestre symphonique de Montréal (OSM) presents

Bruch’s Unforgettable Violin Concerto

Melodic charm, bravura and verve are all elements of Bruch’s magnificent Violin Concerto no. 1, while Dvořák expressed his wonder before Nature with boundless fervour in his Symphony no. 8. Two women composers will also be featured in this concert, with a meditative piece by Florence Price and a spiritual journey through music by Anna Thorvaldsdottir.
