Symphony in the City
Catch one last outdoor concert before summer flies the way of the Canada Goose.
The Montreal Symphony Orchestra is launching its 2010-2011 season with a free open-air event featuring music by Strauss, Stravinski and Gershwin. An homage to Haiti, the show takes place in front of the MSO’s future l’Adresse Symphonique home with narration by Quebec writer Dany Laferrière and performances by Luck Mervil and Cirque Eloize.
That all sounds fab but we’ll be focused on the sexy flip of Kent Nagano’s hair as he waves the baton.
7 p.m. September 2, on the Parterre of the Quartier des Spectacles, Montreal, 514-842-9951, www.osm.ca
