The Great Outdoors - Concert

Also, not surprisingly, this intrinsic love of Nature is reflected in the musical compositions produced by many gifted composers. Join the Kingston Symphony as we explore some wonderful music inspired by the great outdoors, including a special performance of Peter and the Wolf.

About Evan Mitchell – Conductor

Evan Mitchell is one of Canada’s most innovative and imaginative conductors. An artist equally at home conducting symphonic masterworks, opera, contemporary music, and films live in concert. He has also been consistently acclaimed for curating thoughtful, incisive, and affecting musical performances.

Evan’s style of leadership is based on a combination of personal sincerity and the dogged pursuit of collegial music-making. An approach, he says, that he learned from his parents. In performance, Evan prizes commitment, risk-taking, drive, and an unwavering effort to produce the widest possible spectrum of sound colours. He believes in extreme softness as well as extreme loudness, and his over-arching goal is to provoke a sustained emotional response in listeners.
