In October 2016 Kent Nagano conducted concerts with the OSM, at which two world premieres by José Evangelista and Robert Normandeau could be witnessed. Schumann’s cello concerto a major, op. 129 and Strauss’ “A hero’s life” were also presented.
Medici.tv has recorded the concert on 21 October. The Stream is available here.
Kent Nagano and the OSM continue their collaboration with Decca by releasing Danse macabre.
Danse macabre follows on the heels of L’Aiglon, the lyrical drama by Honegger and Ibert that the OSM and Kent Nagano recorded as a world premiere.
All six works presented on the CD are linked by a common theme: Halloween. And although they were not all composed specifically on the occasion of that holiday, the works exploit elements characteristic of it, including death, witches, skeletons and demons.
The album was recorded in the course of three concerts presented on 29 and 30 October 2015 at Maison symphonique de Montréal. The Orchestre symphonique de Montréal and Kent Nagano perform works by Dukas, Dvořák, Mussorgsky, Balakirev, Saint-Saëns and Ives.
Kent Nagano and the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal will embark on a major tour to Japan and China in October with concerts in Tokyo, Fukui, Kyoto, Yokosuka, Sapporo, Beijing and Shanghai. The programmes feature works by Debussy, Stravinsky, Mussorgsky and Ravel. In Koriyama they will give a charity concert in memory of the 2011 Fukushima earthquake.

Our artists have recorded various CDs that will be released over the upcoming months.
Kent Nagano and his Orchestre symphonique de Montréal await with excitement the inauguration of their new Grand Organ Pierre Béique on 28 May 2014. The organ – named after the founder and first manager of the orchestra – was built by the Canadian organ maker Casavant in cooperation with the architects of the concert hall Diamond Schmitt+Ædifica. The concert on 29 May with two world premieres of organ works by composers Kaija Saariaho and Samy Moussa will be broadcast live and for free on Medici.tv (CEST: 30 May, 2.00 am) and will be available online for three months. Please click here for the Webcast.
Kent Nagano – whose contract was recently extended until 2020 – opens the 2014-15 season on 10 and 11 September with Belioz’s dramatic symphony Romeo and Juliet. In March 2015, Kent Nagano presents two rarely performed compositions: Amériques by Varèse on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the composer’s death and the musical drama L’Aiglon – a joint composition by Arthur Honegger (Acts II, III and IV) and Jacques Ibert (Acts I and V) on Napoleon II.
