Surprise and triumph : Kent Nagano Conducts Haydn and Mozart

Surprise and triumph : Kent Nagano Conducts Haydn and Mozart

Maison symphonique de Montréal

SEASON PARTNER

This concert rooted firmly in the Classical style turns a page on 16 emotion-filled years, with Haydn’s surprising, humorous “Farewell” Symphony. The inseparable bond that unites Maestro Nagano with the OSM and Montreal reaches the next level, embodied in Mozart’s brilliant and triumphant “Jupiter” Symphony, the last symphony to spring from the pen of this Viennese mastermind at the summit of his art.
