Beethoven and Romanticism
2025-04-12 19:00 - 21:00 | QC
This special concert on the theme of Romanticism invites the audience members to discover two magnificent and historical spaces at the Morrin Centre as well as chamber music works composed by Beethoven, Schubert, and Ravel.

Saturday, April 12, 7 p.m.
This special concert on the theme of Romanticism invites the audience members to discover two magnificent and historical spaces at the Morrin Centre as well as chamber music works composed by Beethoven, Schubert, and Ravel.
The evening program will be presented in three parts and will feature 16 musicians of the Orchestre symphonique de Québec who will take turns performing in different chamber music ensemble combinations.
While a string trio will play in the Library, a septet will play in the College Hall, thus dividing the audience in two. Two texts from Quebec and Canadian poets will be read by actor Maureen Roberge. After the first part, every artist and audience member will meet in the College Hall where the evening will continue with performances by an octet, quartet, and septet, and the reading of Beethoven’s touching Letter to the Immortal Beloved (Brief an die Unsterbliche Geliebte, 1812). To round off the evening, the audience will once again be divided between the two spaces to listen to the other of the two programs performed at the beginning: the trio in the Library or the septet in College Hall.
During the evening, music director Clemens Schuldt will address the audience and present the theme of romanticism in Beethoven’s works.
PLEASE NOTE: The audience will not be seated during the concert in the Library, and will need to stay standing during this part of the performance (20 minutes).

Us. The Collections delves into three universal themes: identities, migrations, and territories. With 69 diverse artworks from ancient, modern, and contemporary artists, the exhibition invites reflection on our shared and individual experiences. It explores questions of self-representation, the impact of stereotypes, and the significance of migration and land in shaping identity.
After the tour, we will take a moment to gather at the Café Québecor
🚙 Transportation
If you need transportation from the Jeffery Hale Pavilion, please book a transportation ticket, which will be refunded after checking in at the meeting point (Jeffery Hale Pavillion)!

This ticket can be booked or cancelled up to 48 hours before the event.
A $5 refund will be processed within 5-10 business days for those who are present at the meeting point for transportation.
Transportation is available only for children aged 4 and older.
Please ensure that you need transportation before booking a seat, as VEQ will cover the service fees for processing cancellations.

If you require wheelchair-accessible transportation, have special needs, or have any other questions, please get in touch with Viktoria at newcomers@veq.ca.
At VEQ, our goal is to provide access to a variety of activities for everyone in our community. However, we’ve noticed that our free transportation service has experienced a significant number of no-shows, which has unfortunately led to wasted resources that could have been used to fund other exciting activities for all.
To help ensure that everyone who needs a ride can rely on the service, starting in February 2025, we will be requesting a deposit of $5 to $10 to reserve a spot for transportation (for information, the minimum cost to rent a bus is $275 plus applicable taxes). The deposit will be refunded to participants who attend the activity they reserved transportation for.
Don’t miss this opportunity to explore art, history, and community in a truly unique setting. Open to all!
