On December 7th, CJLO walked ALL the way over to the Oscar Peterson Concert Hall where the Orchestra Philharmonia Mundi Montreal was holding a concert where they would play Dvorak's 9th symphony (New World Symphony) along with various other selections. We did a live broadcast and thought it would be good to put it up for any of you that may have missed it. The full concert program is:
