BRAHMS TAKES THE STAGE
Grand Théâtre de Québec
LET THE FESTIVAL BEGIN… MARC-ANDRÉ HAMELIN PLAYS THE 2ND PIANO CONCERTO Emilie LeBel, our composer-in-residence, will open the Brahms Festival with one of her latest creations, commissioned by the Orchestra. For the first part of this festival, Marc-André Hamelin, one of the most famous Canadian pianists, tackles the monumental Second Concerto. The variety and expressive intensity of this iconic score, which can be likened to a symphony for piano and orchestra in four movements, conquered audiences from its creation and immediately toured Europe. Shortly after, Brahms composed his Third Symphony, which achieved his greatest Viennese success upon its premiere at the Musikverein, and whose famous third movement theme, Poco allegretto, has been revisited by… Frank Sinatra, Yves Montand, Dalida, and Serge Gainsbourg! As a final apotheosis, two of the composer's most beautiful Hungarian Dances thrill us with their syncopated lyricism, tinged with Gypsy influences. A presentation by the Orchestre symphonique de Québec Program Brahms: Piano Concerto No. 2 Symphony No. 3 Hungarian Dance No. 1 Hungarian Dance No. 4
