With a colourful offering of more than 30 concerts over 4 days, the possibilities are nearly endless. Chamber music, recitals, vocal music, world music, youth oriented concerts, and of course symphonic concerts make up the varied programming. This year the programming breaches the traditional borders of the concert hall, with a whole new series of free outdoor performances, movie and opera screenings. www.osm.ca/en/festival-viree-classique
