Event summary

Highlights

  • Performance by Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra
  • Conducted by Charles Olivieri-Munroe
  • Celebrates Canada's musical heritage
  • Part of Qatar Canada and Mexico 2026 Year of Culture
The 'Sounds of Canada' concert, presented by the Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra, is scheduled for November 7, 2026, at the Qatar National Convention Centre (QNCC) in Doha. This performance is a key part of the Qatar Canada and Mexico 2026 Year of Culture, aiming to celebrate Canada's rich musical heritage and foster cultural exchange through music.

The concert will be conducted by Charles Olivieri-Munroe and will explore the influence of migration and cultural exchange on Canadian classical music. The program features works by prominent composers such as Oskar Morawetz, a Czech-born composer who became a significant figure in 20th-century Canadian music after fleeing Europe during WWII. Other featured pieces include Pierre Mercure’s Kaleidoscope and Jacques Hétu’s On the Banks of the Saint-Maurice River, Op. 78.

This event follows 'Sounds of Mexico' in the Years of Culture concert series, both designed to use music as a shared language to connect audiences with the histories, identities, and creative traditions of Qatar’s partner countries.
