Canadian classical music will make a home for itself in Joliette, Que., from July 7 to Aug. 6.
The festival will include 14 concerts at the beautiful Amphithéâtre Fernand-Lindsay, and a variety of other performances at the town’s churches, outdoor cultural venues and agritourism sites. The OSM and Rafael Payare will open the festival with a performance of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony (July 7), and will return the following night to pay homage to the 150th anniversary of Rachmaninoff’s birth (July 8). William Christie and Les Arts Florissants will present Handel’s Partenope (July 15).
Canadian superstar conductor Yannick Nézet-Séquin and the Orchestre Métropolitain will play for festival audiences on July 28, 29, and Aug. 6. The festival’s mainstage offerings will contrast against the intimacy of events presented in the region’s churches, featuring the likes of Alisa Weilerstein, Andrew Wan and Charles Richard-Hamelin (July 11); William Christie and Emmanuel Resche-Caserta (July 17); and Angela Hewitt (July 27).
