Symphony Nova Scotia returns to Public Libraries in Halifax, Dartmouth, and Truro for the 25th anniversary of free library concerts in our community.

Bring your lunch and listen to beautiful music, accompanied by informative, entertaining stories about the composers. These concerts are hosted by Symphony Nova Scotia bassist Max Kasper, and feature the Symphony Nova Scotia Library Players, as well as perennial favourites the Gatto Dolce Duo.

All concerts begin at 12:00 noon and are free and open to the public.
