Current Visions: Upstream Ensemble /Symphony NS

"Twenty-two years ago, Symphony Nova Scotia first joined forces with the original Upstream Ensemble to present a unique collaborative concert that paired skilled improvising musicians with adventurous contemporary orchestral music," Open Waters Fest explains, before adding Upstream and SNS have, together, presented "over 30 new orchestral works that break stylistic and cultural boundaries." Here, the tradition continues, with new pieces by Amy Brandon, Lukas Pearse and Jeff Reilly on the set list.
