The OSM’s rootedness in the community is essential, and is made possible in part thanks to donations from the Friends of the OSM.

Testimonials

temoigniages-huguette

“I heard the OSM for the first time at an outdoor concert when I was a teenager, and fell head over heels. Music has been a companion in my life, even more so since my husband passed away. Around that time, I began volunteering for the OSM. It’s deeply satisfying to give back for all those joyful moments the Orchestra has brought me!”

– Huguette, OSM volunteer for over 25 years

temoigniages-zeltzin

“When I arrived from Mexico at age 14, I had to interrupt the music lessons I loved so much. Therefore, I was deliriously happy when my mother took me to hear the OSM at the Olympic Park Esplanade. Twelve years later, I have completed my studies in double bass while working in OSM customer services, while my younger brother is following in my footsteps and learning music too. I am proud to contribute towards raising donations that give children a chance to pursue their passion and enable newcomers to feel more at ease in their host community, all thanks to the power of music. And after these many years, my mother and I still faithfully attend the OSM’s concerts at the Olympic Park!”

– Zeltzin, donor and OSM employee

temoigniages-amin

“I contribute financially to the OSM because I believe fundamentally that classical music nourishes, soothes, and awakens emotions, whether we’re new to it or seasoned enthusiasts. I am proud to support an orchestra whose programming features a broad variety of composers and contributes to Montreal’s status as a cultural leader and epicentre.”

– Amin, OSM donor for the past 10 years
