Unfinished Symphonies

• Orchestre Métropolitain du Grand Montréal; Yannick Nézet-Séguin, chef

Two “unfinished” yet highly accomplished symphonies, Schubert’s No. 8 and Bruckner’s No. 9. From tragedy to affection, mystery to serenity, the eternal emotions never fail to affect us.

• Schubert (1797-1828), Symphonie n^o 8 «Inachevée»
  • Allegro moderato — Andante con moto
• Bruckner (1824-1896), Symphonie n^o 9, en ré mineur
  • Feierlich, Misterioso — Scherzo — Adagio

• Église Saint-Nom-de-Jésus
• $25 (general) / $20 (seniors) / $20 (students) / $10 (children)
