Performing Arts Series
Welcome to the 2012-13 season
of the Acadia Performing Arts Series!
The season opens with Mocean Dance of Halifax, the region’s most exciting contemporary dance company performing a work by one of Canada’s most celebrated choreographers, Tedd Robinson.
In October, Symphony Nova Scotia offers Vivaldi’s Four Seasons conducted by David Stewart. Musical Theatre star Rebecca Caine will reprise some of her favourite roles, and opera lovers can look forward to Mozart’s Cosi Fan Tutte by Jeunesses Musicales du Canada to finish the first term with a bang.
The Tom Regan Concert will open the second half of the season with a display of talent from the Acadia School of Music. South Africa’s legendary Ladysmith Black Mambazo will fill Convocation Hall with their wonderful harmonies in February. The exciting young Tokai String Quartet from Debut Atlantic in March will be followed by a special 25th anniversary presentation from Ballet Jörgen Canada: Swan Lake.
