Maison symphonique - Inaugural concert

Earlier this week the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal inaugurated Montreal's new concert hall, the Maison symphonique. Conductor Kent Nagano led the orchestra in four pieces, including Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. The German composer's masterpiece was broadcast to the public outside the hall, with images of the performance projected onto the façade of the building.

While I was waiting for the broadcast to begin, I walked through the Quartier des spectacles and observed the neighborhood that surrounds the new concert hall.
