Serhiy Salov
NOT TO BE MISSED!
In the second half of the concert, Rachmaninov’s iconic Piano Concerto No. 2, performed by internationally renowned virtuoso pianist Serhiy Salov, opens up an inner space of rare intensity. A breath of light and serenity where doubt, fragility, and the human experience are transformed into rebirth.
Presented as part of the OSG’s 20th anniversary and in support of mental health, this concert goes beyond metaphor. Through the lives of Khachaturian, Beethoven, and Rachmaninov, each marked by hardship, it testifies to the power of music to accompany, soothe, and inspire healing.

Julie Vercauteren
Described by *Klassik Centraal* as possessing a true Mozartian voice, Julie Vercauteren has performed the role of Annio (*La clemenza di Tito*) at the Mozartiade Festival in Brussels.
The luminous timbre of her voice allows her to perform repertoire spanning both soprano and coloratura mezzo-soprano roles—a range that suits her perfectly.
This coming season promises to be particularly rich for Julie Vercauteren. She will return to the operatic stage at the Opéra de Reims to sing the role of Agathe (a journalist) in *Un match*—a new work by Benoît Menut and David Christoffel—performing alongside the Orchestre des Frivolités Parisiennes.
Julie will also appear as the soprano soloist in André Caplet’s *Le Miroir de Jésus* with the Sturm und Klang orchestra; this unique work recounts the story of Christ through the eyes of Mary. The season will also place significant emphasis on education and young audiences, featuring a series of performances at venues such as the Cité Bleue in Geneva and the Centre for Fine Arts (BOZAR) in Brussels, as well as new productions with Camping Cosmos designed to introduce toddlers to Baroque music.
Several collaborations are scheduled for the coming months, including a series of productions with the Namur Chamber Choir and performances of Bach’s motets with the BachPlus ensemble.
Finally, Julie Vercauteren will conclude this first part of the season in December in Montreal, performing Mozart’s *Requiem* alongside the Radio Ville-Marie Choir (Radio-Canada) under the direction of Simon Fournier.

ANDREW PAUL MACDONALD
FOSE Director and Founder Leila-Marie Chalfoun is pleased to announce that a Grand Opera on "The Battle of the Patriots" will be composed by renowned Canadian composer Andrew Paul Macdonald and presented as a World Premiere on July 9, 2027, for the 18th edition of the FestivalOpéra de Saint-Eustache.
"On December 14, 1837, the village of Saint-Eustache was the scene of a bloody battle between the Patriots and the soldiers of the British Crown. Many Patriots perished in the village church, where they had taken refuge. Even after being bombarded and then burned, the building still stands today and bears witness to the fierce fighting that took place there, as historian Jonathan Livernois explains."

"Berenice must leave Rome. Titus must let her go.
Between them, an impossible love and music that speaks where words fail.
Rita Strohl's sumptuous dramatic sonata, inspired by Racine, is at the heart of a program that explores the passions of Huré, Dvořák, and Smetana. An afternoon of rediscovery and emotion."
