To open the Winnipeg New Music Festival this year, the WSO welcomes back Canadian composer and conductor Samy Moussa who has twice been featured at WNMF with his orchestral music.
He returns to lead the orchestra from the podium in a program that plays on light and shadow, from Dark Patterns by American composer-pianist Timo Andres, to Moussa’s own Nocturne, and circling back to Dawning by Welsh master Huw Watkins. The evening culminates in Moussa’s monumental Symphony No. 2.
