This weekend – November 11 and November 12 – the Edmonton Symphony pays tribute to local musical heroes on its Masters series. The program includes the Edmonton premiere of the late Malcolm Forsyth’s A Ballad of Canada (a work for chorus and orchestra, featuring the Richard Eaton Singers), the world premiere of a new trumpet concerto especially written for Edmonton-raised Jens Lindemann by British composer Peter Meechan, and the program is capped off with Rachmaninoff’s Second Symphony.

These concerts are dedicated to the memory of Malcolm Forsyth, one of Canada’s finest composers.
