From Chopin to Weinberg: A Polish Classical Evening Various
Orchestre Classique de Montréal

Embark on a journey through Poland’s rich and varied musical landscape. Mieczysław Weinberg’s Polish-influenced Chamber Symphony will open the evening, followed by Québec composer Maxime Goulet’s Histoire de pêche with its beautiful juxtaposition of strings and solo clarinet, featuring Polish-Canadian clarinetist Kornel Wolak.

The sensitive artistry of the magnificent young Polish-Canadian soprano Karoline Podolak will be on full display in the moving aria “Dumka Zuzi” from Stanisław Moniuszko’s opera Verbum Nobile, and in “Sempre Libera” from Giuseppe Verdi’s La Traviata.

The program will also feature Frédéric Chopin’s Mazurka in B-Flat Major, Nocturne in C-Flat Minor, and his famous Piano Concerto No. 2 featuring Quebec pianist Jean-Philippe Sylvestre. Led by conductor Andrei Feher, it’s an evening OCM audiences won’t want to miss.
