SPHERE Festival - Family Adventures with the NAC Orchestra
For children 5+ and the whole family
What do Vivaldi, R. Murray Schafer, and Greta Thunberg have in common? They prompt us to listen to our environment and reflect on our role here on earth.
Join Principal Youth Conductor and Creative Partner Daniel Bartholomew-Poyser, the NAC Orchestra, and influential leaders and artists from across Canada as they celebrate the art and importance of listening with empathy – to our environment, our elders and each other – in an interactive concert featuring music inspired by nature and creative responses to our world, the climate crisis, and the times we live in.
* Marie Bégin plays on a wonderful violin Carlo Bergonzi 1710-1715 graciously loaned by CANIMEX INC.
***This concert is presented as part of the NAC Orchestra’s SPHERE Festival which will take place on September 22-25, 2022
