The Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal Will Stream Concert on MEDICI.TV, 4/16

The Orchestre symphonique de Montréal has announced that the concert The OSM and Bruckner's Sixth Symphony, presented on April 16 at Maison symphonique de Montréal, will be streamed live on medici.tv, an international web platform offering an important catalogue of classical music online.

For the occasion, the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal, under its music director, Kent Nagano, will be welcoming pianist Till Fellner, who will perform Beethoven's Third Concerto. This is a first concert for the OSM streamed on medici.tv, which is making the April 16 concert available free of charge on the date and over a three-month period. The OSM thus becomes part of a major web audiovisual platform that broadcasts concerts both live and delayed from the finest orchestras, festivals, events and contemporary classical artists to members hailing from 182 countries. This transmission is made possible thanks to the support of Air Canada.

"We make constant efforts to reach an increasingly broad audience, and to that end we seek to use new technologies that offer fresh broadcasting possibilities, stated OSM chief executive officer Madeleine Careau. We are therefore especially proud of this new collaboration with medici.tv, a key audiovisual platform in the field of classical music. We hope that listeners from here and elsewhere will tune in in great numbers to discover or rediscover the unique sound and the personality that distinguish our orchestra. Moreover, it struck us as essential, in the context of our multimedia strategy, to join the ranks of the other great orchestras who already use new technologies to make an impact on the international scene."

The OSM and Bruckner's Sixth Symphony will be broadcast live on April 16, at 8 p.m., on medici.tv. Interested members of the public can find further information on osm.ca.
