The Magic of the Orchestra : Music Discovery and Improvisation Workshops

– First part (7:00 – 10:00 PM) – Family Educational Workshop “SOS Concert: Snowstorm Mission) – subject to availability, on‑site registration possible.

Alert! Alert! Conductor Dina Gilbert is caught in a snowstorm! Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to help her find her sheet music and the orchestra’s instruments that have gone missing! Led by Aurélie Négrier, these educational workshops reveal the secrets of the orchestra: what is an orchestra, what are its instruments, what is the conductor’s role? Through a playful and fantastical world, children and adults alike will discover the magic behind the scenes and at the heart of the orchestra.

– Second part (10:15 PM – 1:00 AM) – continuous activity, no registration required, subject to availability.

The evening continues with theatrical-musical improvisation guided by Jérémie Larouche. Inspired by great symphonic themes, participants will explore the evocative power of music: joy, sadness, pastoral landscapes, or even haunted manors, medieval castles, magical epics, and more. In an immersive and playful setting, everyone will be invited to let go and be carried away by a collective improvisation filled with laughter, emotions, and magic.
