Orchestre classique de Montréal presents

From Mozart to McCartney

In collaboration with Festival Classica, the OCM presents a wonderfully eclectic concert to close its 82nd season. Mozart’s famous ”Jupiter” Symphony, the Double Concerto for Guitar and Bandoneon by Piazzolla, and arrangements of songs by Paul McCartney, ex-member of The Beatles, interpreted by OCM’s Quatuor classique, will surely make this concert a unique and captivating experience.
