Isle of the Dead at the OSM 2025-2026
To celebrate Halloween, step into the surreal atmosphere of Rachmaninoff’s Isle of the Dead, accompanied by van Woerkum’s film of the same name, where the realms of fantasy and fear intertwine. The wild virtuosity of Liszt’s Totentanz (Dance of the Dead), performed by Goodwin Friesen, winner of the 2022 OSM Competition, captures the chilling battle between life and death. Prepare for an evening of spine-tingling mystery and excitement, capped off with festivities at the Maison Symphonique.
