Symphony Nova Scotia
Bernhard Gueller, conductor
Mozart: Symphony no. 36 “Linz”
Symphony no. 38 “Prague”,
Symphony no. 39

Magnificent Mozart, where the orchestra is the focus! Travel back in time to relive three of the master’s greatest symphonies: the bright, cheerful “Linz,” the powerful “Prague,” and the deep, beautiful no. 39. Written in the prime of Mozart’s career, these three stunning works showcase the one-time child prodigy as a hugely influential creative force.

 

“We are, in this province, exceedingly fortunate to have them.”

–Stephen Pedersen, Chronicle-Herald

 

 

 

 

Always surprising, uplifting, educational, innovative and swinging. Music for the saxophone quartet is an ensemble of the twentieth and twenty- first centuries, but Bach too would take his hat off to the Amstel Quartet.

“The Amstel Quartet changes even the simplest work into a breathtaking diamond."

– Het Parool, Amsterdam

A brilliant young cast of Bohemians takes us on an unforgettable coming- of-age journey. Puccini’s glorious masterpiece of youthful flirtation, passionate love and heartbreaking tragedy springs to life with celebrated melodies and bold harmonies of France’s Belle Époque, interpreted by some of the finest young lyric voices from across the country.

Performing works composed by their founder Dinuk Wijeratne, Diomira‘s music explores the Persian poetry of Omar Khayyam, the fantastical prose of Jorge Luis Borges, Flamenco and the intricate rhythms of the Indian Classical tradition. The trio’s critically-acclaimed literary and globally-inspired program was immediately recorded by the CBC.
