From September 25-October 2, Symphony Nova Scotia kicks off its 29th season in Halifax and environs with a series of free concerts and special events designed to celebrate the orchestra. The full week of festivities will feature Symphony Nova Scotia musicians giving free, live performances at venues like Peggy’s Cove (with fireworks!), the Spring Garden Road Library, the Discovery Centre, the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, and the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia (where the family-friendly program includes a live, interactive performance with a wind group from the orchestra, an instrument petting zoo, and an artist-led gallery workshop). Performances will include everything from children’s music to orchestral concerts featuring the entire Symphony. For more information, please visit: http://www.symphonynovascotia.ca.
