The Library Players
This year we have two exciting programs at two different locations including Alderney Gate Public Library in Dartmouth, and the Spring Garden Rd. Memorial Public Library in Halifax. Bring your lunch and listen to beautiful music, accompanied by informative, entertaining stories about the composers. The concerts are hosted by Symphony Nova Scotia bassist Max Kasper, and feature The Symphony Nova Scotia Library Players, as well as perennial favourites the Gatto Dolce Duo. Concerts for 2013 are now scheduled for the month of May. All concerts begin at 12:00 noon.
