What a treat to listen to the OSM in the Maison symphonique. I cannot think of a better place to enjoy Christmas music with a conductor of the calibre of Kent Nagano.

Saw a great performance of Bach and Mendelssohn with a pre concert organ recital. Musicians were great and the evening was very special.

One of my favourite shows at Place des Arts, the symphony is a great event! Would recommend to any classical art lover.

Ken is truly a Maestro of World Class Caliber. If you come to Montreal and the Orchestra plays as good as the one in Vienna, you realize that Ken is doing a great job!

The MSO (for the anglos) is a Montreal tradition. It's an excellent symphony and every year my Mom and I get season passes (to that and the Grande Ballet). Orchestras are not for everyone but if you're going to see one I suggest the MSO...

Saw the Christmas Show. Excellent performance. It was sold out but we were able to get two last-minute cancellations. Well worth it!

Love the acoustics in their concert hall. This is a world class orchestra, and the guest stars are wonderful.

What to say more then amazing place amazing acoustic and almost always great program. If I would start naming every wonderful moment I had there that would take looong very long time. I will just mention that I adore Mr Yannic Nezet and his orchestra, that I am very often there enjoying music and his passion. Latest concerto with Scandinavian composers called Scandinavian escape was just out of this planet. Yannick Nézet-Séguin ... choose excellent pieces such as Edvard Grieg’s Holberg Suite. Its performance was really something spectacular. Loved also Grøndahl Concerto for Trombone and Orchestra in F minor that made people shout ”bravo” numerous times. Sibelius’ Symphony no. 2 in D major, Op.43. was reserved for second part of the evening. My absolute highlight was performance of 4th part ( Air) from Holdberg;s suites by Grieg. Yannic;s team did it superb. Bravo

I personally didn't see any noticeable difference between Montrel's Orchestra and any other one considered to be more upscale.
