Orchestre Symphonique de Québec
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Orchestre symphonique de Québec or The Quebec Symphony Orchestra is one of the major symphony orchestras of Canada, based in Québec City.
The Quebec Symphony Orchestra is also Canada’s oldest active orchestra. Since its origins in 1902 it has always promoted the works of Canadian composers and Canadian soloists.
The orchestra holds an annual competition for young Quebec musicians awarding monetary prizes as well as the opportunity to perform as a soloist with the orchestra. The orchestra also performs with the Théâtre lyrique du Québec (Théâtre lyrique de Nouvelle-France), the (defunct) Opéra du Québec, the Opéra de Québec, and the Choeur symphonique de Québec.
