About

Montreal-born, Paris/Berlin–based composer and conductor Samy Moussa is a rising star on both sides of the Atlantic. He comes to WNMF for the Manitoba premiere of his recent Symphony No. 1, Concordia, composed to both celebrate the 375th anniversary of Montreal and – as Kent Nagano put it – to “imagine what a symphony in the 21st century might be.” The WSO has partnered with the Toronto Symphony to present the Manitoba premiere of WNMF alumna Cassandra Miller’s (Canada/UK) new work Round. The JACK Quartet joins the WSO to give the Canadian premiere of Pascal Dusapin’s (France) virtuosic Hinterland for string quartet and orchestra.

Presented with the support of Michael Nesbitt
