8-bit Noir

Mix music and mixology during this relaxed concert dedicated to visionary new music. Known for his genre-defying concerts, André de Ridder makes his NWS debut with a cutting-edge performance of thrilling music inspired by cinema, including a surrealist symphonic documentary by “brilliant musical scientist” Nicole Lizée (CBC). Béla Bartók’s atmospheric masterpiece Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta is a rare synthesis of cool precision and expressive richness. Enjoy a themed cocktail or mocktail at your seat during the performance.
