Symphony Nova Scotia partners with the Canadian New Music Network, Upstream Music Association, and Vocalypse Productions to present “New Music for a New Year,” an innovative concert of all-new Canadian music.

During the concert, the composers and soloists will be interacting with the audience and musicians, sharing inside stories about the process, results, and motivations behind their works.

The performance also serves as the opening event of the Canadian New Music Network’s international Forum 2010 conference, “Partnering Diversity.”
