Ottawa cardiac surgeon Dr. Marc Ruel to play Beethoven concerto with Ottawa Symphony Orchestra

ctvnews.ca —

Ottawa cardiac surgeon Dr. Marc Ruel will perform as a pianist in Beethoven's "Emperor" Concerto at the Ottawa Symphony Orchestra's season-opening concert on Saturday, supporting the University of Ottawa Heart Institute Foundation. Ruel, a faculty member at the institute for nearly 30 years, will solo in the 3:30 p.m. performance at Carleton Dominion-Chalmers Centre. Artistic director Eve Legault said the project was inspired after Ruel restored her father's health through open-heart surgery. Following the concert, a benefit reception supporting the foundation will be held, with tickets priced at $100 per person, separate from concert admission.
