PEI Symphony Orchestra: Sounds of a Beginning
Guest conductor Jaelem Bhate
The PEI Symphony Orchestra’s (PEISO) 2023-24 season launch takes place October 15 in the Sobey Family Theatre at Confederation Centre of the Arts. Titled “Sounds of a Beginning,” this reunion of PEI’s finest musicians also kickstarts the search for the next PEISO Music Director. Guiding the orchestra through the first concert is guest conductor Jaelem Bhate, renowned for his inventive and modern approach to classical music. Bhate has assembled a rich program pairing modern Canadian compositions with timeless classics, offering performances of Katerina Gimon’s “Roots Beneath,” Roydon Tse’s “Remembrance,” Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s “Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture,” Samuel Coleridge-Taylor’s “Ballade for Orchestra,” and Igor Stravinsky’s “Firebird Suite.” There has never been a better time to become a PEISO season subscriber, gaining not only access to four performances, but also a chance to shape the orchestra’s future.
