Festival de Lanaudière – The OSM and Jean-Yves Thibaudet: Invitations to a Journey Summer 2026
For the return of the renowned pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet to the Amphitheatre stage, one concerto is a must: Saint-Saëns’ famous Fifth, known as « The Egyptian, » of which he is now the quintessential interpreter. The OSM and guest conductor Stéphane Denève respond, blending Gershwin’s abundant inventiveness and exotic verve with Jacques Ibert’s subtle evocations of Mediterranean voyages.
