Earlier this week, I Musici de Montreal embarked on its fourth-ever tour of China, a tour that will see the orchestra perform in seven different cities between October 14 and 25.  The orchestra, under the leadership of music director Yuli Turovsky, will perform in Dongguan, Shenzhen, Shanghai, Changzhou, Wuhan, Zhengzhou and Beijing.  Tour repertoire includes works by Mozart, Shostakovich and three works by Tchaikovsky, including the composer’s Souvenir de Florence, recently released by I Musici on the Analekta label. 
 
Support for the tour has been provided by the Canada Council for the Arts, the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec, and Power Corporation Canada. For more information about the orchestra, please visit their website here.
