The Orchestre symphonique de Laval (under the leadership of Music Director Alain Trudel) has just announced its 25th anniversary season, and it’s a rich one! Highlights include Alain Lefèvre’s performance of André Mathieu’s Piano Concerto No. 4, the world premiere of a new work by Tim Brady and Michel Rivard, and a return appearance in an all-Brahms program by former music director Jean-François Rivest. The season will also mark the introduction of a new two-concert chamber music series featuring members of the orchestra. For more information, please visit here.
