Saint-Lambert, May 25, 2021– Festival Classica is delighted to present its 10th edition, which will take place under the theme From Wolfgang to Amadeus and feature more than 20 live indoor concerts from May 29 to June 22.
The Festival is inviting the public to come and enjoy these concerts at the Paroisse catholique de Saint-Lambert. For its closing event, Festival Classica welcomes the Orchestre Métropolitain and its conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin, who will perform one of Mozart’s most celebrated masterpieces, the Great Mass in C minor for soloists, chorus and orchestra (K. 427/417a). To be able to accommodate more festivalgoers while remaining in full compliance with health regulations, the Festival has reserved the Eric Sharp arena in Saint-Lambert for this concert, which is already sold out!
