Symphony Nova Scotia is truly Nova Scotia’s orchestra. With a home base in Halifax/K’jipuktuk and performances across the province, Symphony Nova Scotia reaches more than 50,000 Nova Scotians of all ages each year with some of the most innovative concerts and educational offerings in the country.
Though Symphony Nova Scotia had its origins with the Halifax Symphony (1897-1908, 1955-1968), the Halifax Sinfoniette (1947-1955), and the Atlantic Symphony Orchestra (1968-1984), the orchestra as we know it began in 1983 with only 13 full-time musicians.
Today, under the thoughtful and dynamic leadership of Holly Mathieson, Symphony Nova Scotia is the largest employer in Nova Scotia’s cultural community, employing 37 musicians and 16 administrative staff, along with over 150 contracted artistic, production, and technical personnel. Its talented team has won many awards, including four East Coast Music Awards for classical music.

I really enjoyed that concert. I loved Rita when I heard her song flying on your own. I became a real follower of hers when she came to Toronto. Thank you Lucy you are amazing.
Very nice!❤
Ohhh, this is very beautiful. Well done everyone!! <3
“Culture is medicine And this medicine must be shared.” ❤️
Waw 🌹
Beautiful ~
Could not have been a better song about workers. I only discovered the song earlier this year and it is now one of my favourites.
Thanks for the clarification. I've only heard them called an upright bass or bass fiddle until a few months ago. I would have never figured out the term without that explanation on my own. 👍🏻
When what role do the holes play?
This masterpiece is criminally underappreciated by the algorithm!
Tara Spencer
Can't believe only 704 likes. Incredible.
Absolutely beautiful ❤
Wow thanks max, this video is wonderful and straight to the point. You really just taught me something my new good friend. With love your new good friend Alex
incredible!
Thank you. for this.
What a talent ❤❤
Wow! It's hard to come back from that. Thank You!
Thank you for the explanation!! I am deciding on a string library and I needed clarification!
You are both so genuinely excited about the music. It’s contagious.
Great job Curtis and Mathieu! Super interesting!
This has been one of my top faves since the first time I heard it!!! 😭😭😭💕💕💕
Where did you get your drum from.? Beautiful 😊
Beautiful and clear explanation, Chris!
Fantastic chat. Now with some background, I look forward to the performance :)
And we're looking forward to how wonderfully you'll capture it!
Bravo👍🏻🎶👍🏻🎶
Wow, that’s was fantastic 🎶🎶🎶🎶
Thank you for this fine interesting introduction to tonight's concert, Chris.
Is that the TNO guy
That was wonderful…..thank you
Simply wow. Lightfoot would be impressed.
JP I found you on a recent Acoustic Shoppe NAMM video. Wholly impresed with your picking. Then I hear you song! Wow! But the clincher- picking like that wearing a 2 lb watch!!!!
Fantastic job Karen 🎼🎻!
Hey, is that Terra Spencer on backing vocals?!
Besides JP's stellar playing, how about his voice ? Man. he sings real good. And this song is such a beautiful tragedy. I love the way he starts with the chorus, and as he sings the verses, more and more meaning comes as he repeats the chorus and the last time is a heartbreaker.
Love the song JP. Hope to get to see you play it live sometime soon.
as a lightfoot fan for soma 60 years. when you started i was hooked. the band are magic you captured the feeling straight away guitar work perfect i would pay good money to sit for 2hrs at a concert
This is gorgeous! So rich!
Perfect!
Nicely done! What finger pattern did you use for this song?
Tasteful interpretation of this song.
Wow!
This is so beautiful. Love this.
BRAVI!
JP has got to be the most underrated singer/writer/musician in Canada! Fantastic cover, Sir….you make me proud to be a New Brunswicker
Jp that is one to be proud of. I mostly watch you talk about guitars. This is the first time I have seen you perform. When you talk about boucher I will picture you playing this one and know that you know what you are talking about!
Excellent
Sir, that was utterly sublime. Thank you!
Jp is something else ,is he not. Superb.
you are a legend and a scholar <3
