concert info

Houtian Zhong discusses the freedom he finds in composing his own music, his experience learning to compose for new instruments in the Victoria Symphony’s New Explorations Workshop, and the beauty in listening. His composition Mirage on the Silk Road, performed by the 2020 vsNEW Ensemble, follows. The vsNEW program is generously underwritten by Beverly Unger.

The Victoria Symphony performs on the traditional lands of the Songhees, Esquimalt, and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples whose historical relationships with the land continue to this day. We extend our respect as well as our appreciation for this opportunity.
