Europe Tour 2024
During its 59th tour, held from 19 to 30 November, the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal shone in eight of Europe's most prestigious concert halls. The 104 musicians, their musical director Rafael Payare and the two internationally renowned soloists who accompanied them - Danniil Trifonov and Javier Perianes (for the London performance) - were acclaimed in packed halls by conquered audiences. Numerous rave reviews hailed this memorable tour!

« Après l’entracte, l’OSM a joué la Symphonie fantastique de Berlioz, qui fait clairement partie du répertoire de base de l’orchestre : tout à fait parfaite, impeccable mais aussi vivante et, surtout, passionnante à presque chaque instant et… vraiment fantastique.»
– Peter Schlamilch, De Nieuwe Muze
« Payare a offert d’immenses arcs de tension, de grands climax et des tempi parfaits, comme dans la valse, qui était si fluide et naturelle que le public, une fois de plus, a éclaté en applaudissements.
