The Orchestre symphonique de Québec (OSQ) under the direction of British guest conductor Dinis Sousa (second from left); soloists Tomislav Lavoie, Philippe Gagné, Rihab Chaib and Anna-Sophie Neher; and the choir of the OSQ, prepared by director David Rompré (far left), gave an outstanding performance of the eight movements of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s famous Requiem at the Grand Théâtre on Nov. 6. This was preceded by Richard Wagner’s delightful Siegfried Idyll and Franz Schubert’s Symphony No. 8, also known as the Unfinished Symphony. Sousa is the principal conductor of the Royal Northern Sinfonia, the associate conductor of the Monteverdi Choir and Orchestras and the founder and artistic director of the Orquestra XXI in England. In 2023, he was the recipient of the British Critics’ Circle Young Talent Award. (Photo by Shirley Nadeau)
