Three things to know about the show:

  • Mystery, shadows, and suspense abound in a pair of romantic works from Franz Schubert and Felix Mendelssohn.
  • NACO's Principal Trumpet Karen Donnelly shines as the soloist in a work by JUNO-nominated composer John Estacio.
  • And Wojciech Kilar's Orawa transforms the NACO strings into a merry band of fiddlers from Poland's Tatra mountains. 

Why didn't Franz Schubert complete his Eighth Symphony before his death at 31? Join generations of music lovers who have explored this baffling mystery while listening to the passionate lyricism and haunting melodies of Schubert's unfinished symphony of light and shadow.  

The NAC Orchestra's Principal Trumpet Karen Donnelly steps into the spotlight to perform John Estacio's Trumpet Concerto — a kaleidoscopic work for solo trumpet and orchestra co-commissioned by the NAC Orchestra to celebrate Canada's 150th birthday.  

And get ready to embark on a pair of musical journeys to Europe: Felix Mendelssohn's Hebrides Overture evokes the misty landscapes and crashing waves he experienced exploring islands off the northern coast of Scotland, while Wojciech Kilar's Orawa transports us to the highlands of Poland's Tatra mountains to take part in a spirited celebration of the harvest season.
