LSM’s March issue features violinist Laurence Kayaleh and her recital partner, pianist Paul Stewart. Together, they are releasing a disc this month on the Naxos label covering the remarkable violin and piano works of the oft-neglected Russian master, Nikolay Medtner. This will be the second of two discs they have recorded with Naxos in as many years, and together, the two-disc set represents the complete output for violin and piano by Medtner. As part of Quebec City’s 400^th anniversary celebrations, the Orchestre symphonique de Québec will perform one of the most audacious orchestral pieces ever composed, Mahler’s Eighth Symphony: OSQ artistic director Yoav Talmi shares his thoughts on this magnificent work in our Musician’s Corner. Lucie Renaud sat down with Raoul Sosa, a Montreal-based pianist who is celebrating the 40^th year of his career here in Quebec. A longtime piano teacher at the Conservatoire de musique de Montréal, Mr. Sosa has won a great number of awards and international recognition; he also remarkably overcame an injury to his right hand by exploring the piano repertoire for the left hand.

The guide for this month features summer music and arts camps: our comprehensive listings showcase a variety of programs that will take place across the country this summer.
