Beethoven’s Violin Concerto is a mighty mammoth of the violin repertoire, renowned for its sheer scale and serene, spacious elegance. Symphony Nova Scotia proudly presents this monumental work together with virtuoso violinist Blake Pouliot – one of Canada’s most in demand young violinists and “a player who is clearly going to be a major force in the violin world” (Whole Note). Don’t miss the show stopping performance of this exhilarating orchestral triumph alongside Sibelius’ dreamy, enchanting Pelléas and Mélisande – an emotional exploration of forbidden love, deep turmoil, and the power of fate and destiny.

“From the passionate opening declamation, the Canadian violinist [Blake Pouliot] was fully in sync with Saint-Saëns’ lyricism and Romantic flair. He surmounted the score’s acrobatic demands with ease, and his youthful showmanship never subsumed the larger musical narrative.” ~Chicago Classical Review

“One of those special talents that comes along once in a lifetime.” ~Toronto Star
