One of our objectives is to bring to the public awareness musical repertoire of the highest quality that would otherwise remain forgotten. As Canada celebrates its 150th year, for its first CD, the Symphonova Orchestra creates a sound document of eight decades of symphonic composition by Canadian composers. Curated by Professor Elaine Keillor C.M., the CD includes works published by the Canadian Musical Heritage Society that have not been previously recorded and rarely performed. With this new recording, Canadians have the opportunity to discover and enjoy this legacy of artistic endeavour in symphonic sound during the first eight decades of the country’s existence. read more
