Salle Jean-Pierre-Houde of Châteauguay
The 2024-2025 Season begins with “Stravinsky en Montérégie” where Galileo calls upon the Cobalt Quartet, whose four members regularly occupy the first chairs of the Orchestra, to present the Suite from The Firebird and the ballet The Rite of Spring from Igor Stravinsky at Salle Jean-Pierre-Houde, in Châteauguay, on Saturday, November 16th, 2024, in arrangements for chamber orchestra using gut strings instead of metal, as was the norm at the time of the creation of these works, in 1910 and 1913. The concert is completed by the performance of the arrangement of the Pastorale, dating from 1907 and originally written for voice and piano.​

Rome, d'amour et de sang
February 27th, 2025 - Opti-Centre of Vaudreuil-Dorion
March 1rst, 2025 - Cœur des sciences of UQÀM
​
“Rome, d’amour et de sang” proposes post-modern collages and remodelings of baroque arias and recitatives by Johann Adolf Hasse, Georg Friedrich Haendel, Jean-Baptiste Lully, Marc-Antoine Charpentier, Antonio Vivaldi, Riccardo Broschi et Claudio Monteverdi in an unprecedented dramatic framework that will take place respectively at the Opti-Centre in Vaudreuil-Dorion and at the Agora du Cœur des Sciences of the Université du Québec à Montréal, on February 27th and March 1rst, 2025.
Produced in collaboration with the Atelier lyrique de l'Opéra de Montréal, the show revisits several arias and recitatives from famous baroque operas in a new post-modern narrative and scenography by Thomas Lussier, while preserving their historically informed interpretation on period instruments and producing them on stages that favor their 360° deployment rather than on stages with the Italian.

Regular tickets $45 $ | Seniors $38 | Students $10
Schumann voyage!
June 2025
Cathedral of Valleyfield
"Schumann voyage!", on Saturday, June 8, 2025, at the Cathedral of Valleyfield, is intended to be both a nod and a logical continuation of the show "Mozart voyage!", offered to its audience by Galileo on June 3, 2023 and designed to illustrate the Salzburg composer's contribution to the symphonic genre, by touring those of his works identified with the names of European cities.
"Schumann voyage!" takes up the concept by offering two of Robert Schuman's most accomplished works that were composed in two different cities in Germany, namely his piano concerto, op. 54, on the romantic Erard piano played by Gili Loftus and his 3rd symphony, op. 97, known as the "Rhenish" symphony.
In addition, the Vaudreuil-Soulanges Youth Symphony Orchestra will be invited back to perform for about fifteen minutes as part of Galileo’s “Dans la cour des grands” immersion program.
