SENSATIONAL OP • 68th CONCERT SEASON

2024-2025 • MAgnum Opus Series

Saturday, November 16  2024 • 7pm | Regent Theatre (Oshawa)

SPLENDID WATER SOUNDSCAPES • WITH SPECIAL GUEST REMIGIO

Composers through the ages have been fascinated with the theme of water – water in all its guises including the sea, lakes, rivers, streams, rain, fog, mist, fountains and so forth. This program presents some of the most iconic and fascinating representations of water by some of the greatest symphonists in all music, culminating with the uncontested magnum opus that is Claude Debussy’s “La Mer” (The Sea). Additionally, it is our pleasure to present our very special guest: The spectacular tenor, Remigio, one of the great vocal talents of Canada, joins OP to fill your heart and soul with gorgeous and moving songs.
