L’ESPACE OSM

ANOTHER WAY TO DISCOVER THE OSM

A FREE VENUE, OPEN TO ALL

Visit Espace OSM and learn more about the Orchestra and classical music by exploring exciting interactive and digital projects. Throughout the season, talks and listening clubs with guest speakers offer you an opportunity to deepen your knowledge of the musical repertoire performed in the concert hall, whether you are a seasoned music lover or a new enthusiast.

 

A wall dedicated to the OSM’s history traces the Orchestra’s journey through the decades, with additional media available on tablets. This year, two temporary exhibitions invite you to discover classical music from a new perspective. The first exhibition highlights the OSM’s longstanding initiatives to celebrate and serve the Orchestra’s diverse communities. The other celebrates the tenth anniversary of the Grand Orgue Pierre-Béique by exploring this massive and complex instrument, tracing the history of the organ since its origins, demystifying its inner workings, and revisiting highlights from 10 years of music making.

 

The Espace OSM also features news about upcoming concerts and exclusive features on the Orchestra’s musicians. Its Listening Zone offers you a space to relax while listening to OSM-curated Spotify playlists.
