Festival de Lanaudière – Payare, Liu, and the OSM: A Meeting of Minds Summer 2026
Since his resounding victory at the Chopin Competition in Warsaw, Canadian pianist Bruce Liu has conquered the musical world: invitations from the greatest orchestras, recitals in the most prestigious concert halls, a recording contract with Deutsche Grammophon, and more. For his Lanaudière debut, he offers the public two concertos worthy of his exceptional talent. For this event, the orchestra and conductor are the obvious choice: the OSM and its music director, Rafael Payare.
