NSYO: A Joyous Trilogy

Featuring: Denise Grant, Irain Quirós, The Nova Scotia Youth Orchestra Led by Denise Grant – a conductor and educator who has held positions at Memorial University, the University of Toronto, and the University of Regina – this concert features several exciting works, including a performance by our 2025/26 Concerto Competition winner Irain Quirós. First, enjoy Mason’s A Joyous Trilogy, an inviting piece that’s sure to put you in a good mood. Next, hear Mazzoli’s Sinfonia (for Orbiting Spheres), which the composer describes as “music in the shape of a solar system”, and Weinzweig’s Round Dance, a short and invigorating work for orchestra with a “Canadian folk flavour”. Plus, Forsyth’s JUNO Award-winning piece Atayoskewin Suite rounds out our concert. Come join the young musicians of the Nova Scotia Youth Orchestra for this delightful season finale performance!
