For more than 80 years now, the OSM has offered concerts in the parks free of charge to Quebec audiences. Once again this year, there is no age limit to come out and savour three exciting outdoor concerts with OSM Conductor-in-Residence Adam Johnson and violinist Kerson Leong.

These dazzling events hosted by André Robitaille are ideal for individuals, friends and families to come together and soak up the music in a festive spirit. Bring out the picnic blankets, folding chairs and lemonade, and spend an unforgettable evening with an orchestra that is cherished at home and acclaimed across the globe!
