Win Season Passes to Turning Point Ensemble

Comments 37 by Rebecca Bollwitt

Based in Vancouver, Turning Point Ensemble is a dynamic group of some of Canada’s most exceptional musicians. They are a large chamber ensemble dedicated to increasing the understanding and appreciation of music composed during the past hundred years, linking the music of earlier times to the music of today through innovative programming and outstanding musicianship. With a commitment to Canadian music, the Ensemble also has an impressive repertoire of new commissioned work.
