Musical Canvases Series

For the fourth year in a row, the Orchestre symphonique de
Montréal and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts are proposing
a dialogue between the visual arts and music with the series
"Musical Canvases." These Friday evenings begin with a guided
tour of the Museum's collection or a temporary exhibition and
continue with a concert of chamber music inspired by the works
of art.

All the concerts will be given in the Hall of Mirrors,
Michal and Renata Hornstein Pavilion.
