In celebration of its 125th anniversary, the Douglas Hospital proudly welcomes the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal to its magnificent grounds for an outdoor performance. This event is part of the OSM / Loto-Québec Concerts in the Parks series and will be held Tuesday, July 11 at 7:30 p.m.

Hosted by the popular spokesman for the series Grégory Charles, this colourful concert features boys and girls from the Collège vocal de Laval, directed by Grégory Charles. Under the direction of conductor in residence, Jean-François Rivest, the OSM will interpret works from the popular musical The Sound of Music and from Quatre Chansons by Canadian composer André Mathieu. In addition, the dynamic Ride of the Valkyrie by Richard Wagner, two excerpts from the The Firebird ballet suite by Igor Stravinsky, and the dazzling Saber Dance by Aram Khatchatourian will be performed. Wines from Alsace will be offering wine and cheese samples to the public.

About the OSM / Loto-Québec Concerts in the Parks:
A unique opportunity to enjoy beautiful summer evenings while listening to magnificent symphonic works in a family setting, the OSM / Loto-Québec concerts have become an essential part of Montréal summers. Reaching thousands of people each year, these concerts allow the OSM to develop close bonds with surrounding communities. A desire to engage the public outside the traditional concert hall has always been at the heart of its mission. Again this year, Loto-Québec joins with the OSM to present the 10th edition of these free events.
