The Grand Orgue Pierre-Béique will be heard for the first time alongside the OSJM, a youth orchestra brimming with talent conducted by Louis Lavigueur. Together, the Organ and the Orchestra will engage in a discourse both solemn and splendorous, in a colourful program full of surprises. Rediscover Vierne’s Organ Symphony no. 2 in an arrangement by Montreal composer Vincent Hamel, as well as Bach’s famous Toccata and Fugue in D minor, stunningly transcribed by Stokowski.
