Bramwell Tovey* Ancestral Voices (2017)
Dvorak Symphony No. 9 in E minor, Op. 95, B. 178 New World
Our 2023-2024 season opens with three Canadian composers whose unique and expressive voices will be put on full display. Katie Agocs’ Shenanigan is full of buoyant energy, showing off the range of the orchestra capturing the essence of Atlantic Canada’s reels. Christine Donkin’s Three Autumn Scenes is beautifully descriptive, as we explore those first sounds and sights of a crisp autumn day. Written for acclaimed First Nations mezzo-soprano Marion Newman, Ancestral Voices is a powerful and thought- provoking song cycle written in the spirit of Truth and Reconciliation. Finally, Dvorak’s New World Symphony, one of the most famous symphonies of all time, is a sweeping drama inspired by his experiences during his stay in America.
