Among the selected pieces are the classic Libiamo from La Traviata, The Prayer, popularized by Céline Dion and Andrea Bocelli, Minuit Chrétien, and many others!

The Orchestra, under the direction of Maestro Francis Choinière, will also perform the overture to the opera classic La Traviata, the Intermezzo from Cavalleria Rusticana and Tchaikovsky’s famous Waltz of the Flowers (The Nutcracker).
