Kent Nagano and the Montreal Symphony Orchestra present a programme that brings impressive surprises at every turn! It ranges from a witty Haydn symphony to a gleeful depiction of a Scottish celebration, and climaxes in The Rite of Spring, Stravinsky's earth-shaking portrait of prehistoric Russian rituals. This performance salutes Stravinsky's landmark work in the one-hundredth anniversary year of its scandal-igniting première in Paris.

Pre-concert chat in the North Lobby with Rick Phillips and Kent Nagano at 7:45pm

Please note: The start time for this performance is 8:30pm
