Season Presenting Partner

In this one-of-a-kind concert, let’s learn about the orchestra and insects without fear! Discover The Carnival of the Insects, a new work by Quebec composer Maxime Goulet.

Designed as a series of short movements, each one will highlight an insect and an orchestra instrument that will have the chance to be heard as a soloist. Ants, bees, beetles, and many other insects will be evoked by the timbres of the four families of the orchestra. To complete the celebration, other bugs might just join in!
