We are so excited to kick off our 2020 Summer Virtual Season with this program! As we were reading through Maestro Kerry's notes that he left for future program ideas, this one jumped out at us. The program, centred around bird-inspired pieces for luscious full orchestra, was a symphonic love letter for his wife, Elizabeth, an avid bird photographer.

Although we will have to save Kerry's exact program for when we can assemble a full orchestra, we were inspired by the love Kerry showed for Elizabeth and called on couples from within our orchestra. Together with our lovebirds, we explore how love and birds are depicted through music.

Some repertoire highlights include Piazzolla's Nightclub by Laura Chambers and Dan Morphy, a lively Rondo from Mozart's G Major duo for violin and viola by Adam and Rebecca Diderrich, and Co-Artistic Directors Sharon Lee and Marcus Scholtes chase each other through Telemann's canon for two flutes, re-imagined for two violins.
