Laval, December 12, 2023 - The Orchestre symphonique de Laval (OSL) returns for a third consecutive year with its Winter Classical Festival from January 26 to 28, 2024 at Salle André-Mathieu. In this enchanting holiday season, the Orchestre Symphonique de Laval is pleased to present the ideal gift for classical music lovers: a passport to three exceptional symphony concerts, all for just $93 (taxes included).
The Orchestra will open the ball with its concert Nordic and Interstellar Legends, an original musical concert fusing the Nordic legends revisited by Wagner and Tolkien with an exploration of the greatest cinematic masterpieces of all time: 2001, A Space Odyssey and Star Wars, all conducted by Maestro Jean-Michel Malouf.
An exceptional musical evening follows the next day, combining the timeless charm of Baroque works with the bold creativity of 20th-century composers. The highlight of the evening will be Stravinsky's ballet Pulcinella, presented in its entirety, with orchestra, singers and dancers, conducted by the eminent Laval conductor Andrei Feher.
To round off its Festival, the Orchestra will present its Histoires dessinées family concert. Drag queen Barbada, renowned for her charisma and exceptional talent as a storyteller, will transport audiences into the fascinating world of Peter and the Wolf. Her vibrant, expressive narration will bring the beloved characters of this classic musical tale to life, creating an immersive experience for young and old alike.
Richard Vallerand, a leading figure in the world of comics, will add a masterly visual dimension to the concert with live illustrations of Respighi's Peter and the Wolf and The Birds.

The Orchestre symphonique de Laval is one of the most important artistic institutions in the Laval region. Founded in 1984, it is made up of fifty-three (53) professional musicians with degrees from Quebec conservatories and universities.
For almost 40 years, the Orchestra's mission has been to make symphonic music heard and shared in a spirit of conviviality and proximity. Each year, the Orchestra offers a variety of symphonic and chamber music concerts. During the winter season, the OSL offers its Winter Classical Festival, a festive event combining concerts and activities for all generations. During the summer season, the Orchestra takes the opportunity to meet the public and offer open-air concerts.
In 2016, the Orchestra inaugurated the Bébé Musique series, an activity that enables new parents to attend a dress rehearsal accompanied by their youngest children. Alongside all its concerts, the Orchestra also offers a number of educational activities for young people at primary, secondary, college and university levels. In 2013, the Conseil québécois de la musique awarded the Orchestra the Opus prize for Young Audience Production of the Year. The Orchestre is also very involved with the next generation of musicians, notably through its Préludes and Orchestre des jeunes de Laval-Laurentides, which showcase the musical talents of young people in our community.
