Symphony Nova Scotia chorus master Joel Tranquilla leads the NSYO in a performance that invites two choral groups, the Annapolis Valley Honour Choir (now renamed "Canta Mara Youth Choirs") and Soundtrax, to sing along in this exciting orchestral presentation of glorious myths and legends. Works include:
Program
• Joseph Haydn: The Creation, The Heavens are Telling
• Rosephanye Powell: The Word Was God
• Ludwig van Beethoven: Prometheus Overture
• Kristopher Fulton: Prometheus
• Florence Price: Juba
The Nova Scotia Youth Orchestra is a nonprofit organization that was founded in 1977. For more than 45 years, the NSYO has provided students with educational opportunities not available at any university, public school, or conservatory in the province. The orchestra has been described by renowned professional conductors and musicians as one of the finest in Canada, and 85 percent of our nearly 1,000 alumni have gone on to jobs in music-related fields.
In 2018, management of the Nova Scotia Youth Orchestra was handed over to Symphony Nova Scotia. This new partnership follows the successful mentorship model of many top youth orchestras across North America, providing young musicians with increased opportunities for networking, volunteering, and hands-on learning.
