Discover the resilient brilliance of three composers who transform darkness into radiant, enduring beauty, each in their own unique way: from Brahms’ triumphant breakthrough First Symphony to the glowing lyricism and fireworks of Barber’s Violin Concerto (featuring our former Concertmaster Robert Uchida), and a specially-commissioned world premiere by Canadian composer Matthew-John Knights.

Shadows & Light: Barber & Brahms

Dalhousie Arts Centre

Step into the timeless tale of love and tragedy with Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet, masterfully brought to life in this live-recorded performance. Matthew-John Knights’s Lines, Layers, Ligaments explores the intricate connections between the human body and the natural world, and Prokofiev’s Symphony No. 3 stirs with gripping drama and intensity.
