With performances in Fredericton, Moncton and Saint John, SNB’s Autumn Leaves series aims to brighten up your November and help to ease us all through the transition of autumn to winter.
Symphony New Brunswick has a new series of performances coming up later this month. Featuring guest soloist Danielle Sametz (violin) and guest conductor Nadage Foofat, SNB’s Camerata NB concerts will be performed in Fredericton, Moncton and Saint John November 18-22.
“Lots of folks we know are dealing with stress and anxiety in their lives right now,” said Sametz, who is currently second violinist with the Saint John String Quartet and Symphony New Brunswick. “We feel like we could all use a little happiness and encouragement – and the warm, rich melodies in these pieces are sure to deliver.”
With an emphasis on Mozart, this series of concerts aims to brighten up your November and help to ease us all through the transition of autumn to winter.
“I am so excited to come conduct and work with the musicians of Symphony New Brunswick,” said Foofat, who holds a Doctor of Music degree in orchestral conducting from the Université de Montréal. “My husband and I had the great fortune of spending four weeks hiking through the Maritimes in 2018. We started and ended our trip in New Brunswick, and fell deeply in love with its stark beauty and expanses of nature, and warm and friendly people. I know that my week with the orchestra is destined to be magical, and I hope you can join us for one of these concerts.”
All concerts will be performed and enjoyed under strict adherence to Covid-19 regulations. Audience will be advised by the theatre box offices about security specific to each theatre.
