The first artistic director of the OSM, conductor and pianist Wilfrid Pelletier, was born in Montréal on this day in 1896. In 1966, the largest room in the Place des Arts was named after him. Pelletier is also known for beginning the OSM in the Parks tradition, which is still alive today.
You can see the OSM in Chartier-De Lotbinière park in Rigaud on July 26 and Poly-Aréna park in Brossard on the 27. Assistant conductor Dina Gilbert will return to lead a program of Russian symphonic works by Glinka, Borodin, Glazunov, Prokofiev, Tchaikovsky, and Mussorgsky, featuring 2010 OSM Competition winner Timothy Chooi. www.osm.ca
