OSAR Concerts Continue in 2026

The Orchestre Symphonique Alénya Roussillon (OSAR) continues its programme of classical concerts across the Pyrénées-Orientales in 2026. Founded in 2017 and directed by conductor Bernard Salles, the orchestra brings together around 50 musicians, combining passionate amateurs with professional performers to present high-quality symphonic music throughout the region.

The year began with the traditional New Year Concert, featuring soprano Lucie Emeraude and mezzo-soprano Aurore Daubrun, performing famous operatic works including music from Carmen, Lakmé and La Traviata. The concert offered a festive programme inspired by the Viennese tradition, performed by the orchestra under the direction of Bernard Salles.

Spring concerts are also scheduled for April 2026, with performances taking place in several local churches including Céret (11 April), Prades (12 April) and Perpignan (18 April). These concerts feature orchestral works with vocal soloists and choir, continuing OSAR’s mission to make classical music accessible to audiences across the department.

Through these regular concerts and collaborations with local cultural organisations, OSAR remains an important part of the region’s musical life, bringing classical and sacred music to venues throughout the Pyrénées-Orientales.
