The Orchestre symphonique de Montréal welcomes soprano and conductor Barbara Hannigan for an evening filled with joy and dance, featuring the exceptional participation of contralto Marie-Nicole Lemieux.

Waltz, tango, samba, swing, and French cancan intertwine in a program inspired by the album Dance With Me (2022), an international success. Driven by Barbara Hannigan’s contagious energy and musical memories — from Moonlight Serenade to In the Mood — the concert radiates a sparkling, convivial, and unmistakably festive atmosphere.
