LÓPEZ, CHILDS & MALHER: HOPE IN THE HEART OF EXILE

Recorded at the Maison symphonique de Montréal (Canada)  on February 11, 2026

Three works, three worlds, one shared impulse: Hope in the face of suffering.

From the pain of displacement in López and Childs to Mahler’s luminous vision of a unifying paradise, this program performed by the OSM under the direction of Rafael Payare traces a sensitive and deeply human journey.
