The Peggy Corkum Music Room

One of Canada's finest chamber ensembles, the Penderecki Quartet opens our season, making its first appearance in Nova Scotia since 2010. They bring us a mix of classics and Canadian works, including a late work of Murray Schafer's, written as the composer grappled with the onset of dementia.
