Festival de Lanaudière – Shostakovich by Payare and the OSM Summer 2026
Rafael Payare and the Montreal Symphony Orchestra return to the Festival – this time with Shostakovich’s imposing Tenth Symphony, whose evocative power paints a vivid picture of its creator, an artist constrained and silenced by a dictatorial regime (Stalinist Russia) with which he maintained complex and inextricable ties throughout his life. In the first part, Alisa Weilerstein performs Gabriela Ortiz’s concerto, written for her and premiered last season by the Los Angeles Philharmonic.
