The autumn of 2015 at Analekta and at the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal is colored by the works of Camille Saint-Saëns. With his important contributions to the soloist-with-orchestra repertoire, the composer occupies a special place in the history of French music. OSM is featuring: The Complete Violin Concertos of Saint-Saëns. The Orchestre symphonique de Montréal, conducted by Maestro Kent Nagano, and OSM concertmaster Andrew Wan. Wan is equally at home as a soloist, chamber musician and orchestra concertmaster. He was appointed concertmaster of the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal in 2008, making him one of the youngest musicians to occupy that position with an important symphony orchestra. His relationship with the OSM began when he appeared as soloist in the Elgar Violin Concerto, a performance recognized by La Presse as one of the musical highlights of 2007.

It is the source of color in music. It gives wings to the artist to help him escape from the prosaic and commonplace." Andrew Wan is equally at home as a soloist, chamber musician, and concertmaster. In 2008, he was named conc...
