The ECSQ season continues with a concert of joy and sorrow: themes that are continuously grappled by composers over the years. New works offer new insight while old classics still continue to ring true. Haydn’s “Sunrise” Quartet opens with the sublime rising warmth of a new day. Mozetich’s Lament in the Trampled Garden is a neo-romantic Canadian gem that is mournful, but sways with the joy of blooming flowers. Our last piece of the concert is Borodin’s famous String Quartet No. 2, full of beauty and nostalgia. The piece is rumoured to have been a 20th anniversary gift to his wife, and is meant to portray the story of the time they first met.
La saison de l’ECSQ continue avec un concert mêlant la joie et la tristesse : des thèmes qui ne cessent d’être abordés par les compositeurs au cours des années. Les nouvelles œuvres offrent de nouvelles perspectives, tandis que les vieux classiques continuent de sonner avec pertinence. Le Quatuor “Sunrise” de Haydn s’ouvre avec la chaleur sublime d’un nouveau jour qui se lève. “Lament in the Trampled Garden” par Mozetich est un trésor canadien néo-romantique qui est en deuil, mais qui oscille avec la joie des fleurs qui s’épanouissent. La dernière pièce du concert est le fameux Quatuor à cordes n° 2 de Borodin, plein de beauté et de nostalgie.

Best Selling author of The Da Vinci Code, and composer, Dan Brown joins the Sistema NB Children’s Orchestra to perform his Wild Symphony.
Dan Brown – the #1 best-selling author of The Da Vinci Code and related thrillers, Angels & Demons, Inferno, and The Lost Symbol – is known for exciting twists, turns, and surprises.
His musical surprise, WILD SYMPHONY, unveils the novelist as a lifelong musician and composer.
Inspired by the track record and international leadership of NBYO and Sistema NB, Brown has agreed to participate personally in the Sistema NB performance in Moncton on June 11, 2024. This will be his solo, personal collaboration in a Wild Symphony performance in 2024!
And although Wild Symphony is being performed by professional symphony orchestras from around the world, in New Brunswick, Wild Symphony will be performed by the Sistema NB Children’s Orchestra – 120 musicians, 14 years of age and younger, a class of its own.
Now in its 15th year, Sistema New Brunswick has grown into Canada’s largest orchestral program, engaging 1,200 children and youth and employing 60 professional teaching artists. The Sistema New Brunswick program is free. Children, starting in grade 1, participate three hours after school, five days a week totalling 600 hours annually. Music and the orchestra become a powerful catalyst for achievement and social development.
