Sibelius: Nordic Landscapes

Sibelius’ music is inseparable from the Nordic landscape: forests, snow, vast spaces, and that famous moment of inspiration when he saw the swans in flight, which inspired the final movement of his popular Fifth Symphony.

Andrew Wan, a favourite guest soloist and Concertmaster of the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal, returns to perform Sibelius’ impressive Violin Concerto in this program rooted in the North.

Also enjoy Jacques Hétu’s Légendes, which was composed to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Québec City. Each movement is inspired by a Québécois legend—including the Flying Canoe.
