4. Symphony Nova Scotia announces its 2010/11 season
Halifax, NS – Symphony Nova Scotia is delighted to announce its 2010/11 concert season! This season the orchestra brings you more great music – more classical heavyweights, more Canadian and Maritime content, and more of Nova Scotia’s best artists and bands.
“There’s something for everyone in the new Symphony Nova Scotia season,” says Music Director Bernhard Gueller.
“We are proud to present concerts such as The Music of the Beatles, Mozart’s Requiem, The Nutcracker, Howard Cable’s Holiday Spectacular, and our annual collaboration with the Nova Scotia Youth Orchestra. Amongst the wealth of leading guest artists are Basia Bulat, Erin Costelo, Meaghan Smith, Jan Lisiecki, and Jon Kimura Parker.”
Season ticket packages are now available now for 2010/11. Highlights include:
CELEBRITY CLASSICS SERIES: ten inspiring classical music concerts
Halifax’s own Denise Djokic opens the season with Saint-Saëns’ beloved Cello Concerto.
The orchestra performs some of the greatest works of the symphonic repertoire: Beethoven’s Fifth, Brahms’ Violin Concerto, Schubert’s “Unfinished” symphony, Mozart’s “Jupiter” symphony and more…
Young Canadian pianists Jan Lisiecki and Avan Yu join the Symphony to perform two exuberant concertos.
The Symphony presents Mozart’s stunning Requiem for the first time in a decade.
And then, the Scandinavian Festival, with an augmented orchestra to bring you Grieg’s Peer Gynt Suite and his Piano Concerto with Jon Kimura Parker. You’ll also hear Sibelius’ Symphony no. 2, as well as his unparalleled Violin Concerto.
POPS SERIES: eight lively Maritime and popular music concerts
The annual tribute concert takes on the greatest hits of the Beatles!
Comedian Steve Smith (a.k.a. Red Green) joins the orchestra for a hilarious symphonic take on everything handy. (And yes, there will be duct tape!)
The Symphony brings in more of Cape Breton’s best – this time, the Barra MacNeils – for a foot-stomping Celtic music concert.
In a throwback to the hugely successful and sold-out 2007 Motown concert, Dutch Robinson joins the orchestra for Symphonic Soul.
Local stars like Meaghan Smith, Erin Costelo, and Sons of Maxwell bring the music home in the Maritime series.
Howard Cable conducts the orchestra in a massive holiday pops extravaganza.
BAROQUE SERIES: three exquisite concerts in an intimate venue, plus Handel’s Messiah
Tafelmusik’s incomparable Jeanne Lamon returns once again, this time to perform the best of English baroque music.
Alexander Weimann, one of the world’s best harpsichordists, performs the baroque music of his home country, Germany.
Baroque specialist Noel Edison, director of the Toronto Mendelssohn Choir, comes to Halifax with his authentic, lively interpretation of Handel’s majestic Messiah.
AND MORE…
Family concerts include the 20th-anniversary production of the holiday hit The Nutcracker, along with Spooky Chills and Musical Thrills, a very special in-costume Halloween concert – complete with costume contest, face painting, and a musical instrument petting zoo!
The Nova Scotia Youth Orchestra joins Symphony Nova Scotia for a performance of one of the world’s favourite symphonic works: Mahler’s Fifth Symphony.

5. Daily Digital News from Music Ally: Pirate Bay founder gives advice to the music industry
With the debate around new digital music business models in full swing, what does The Pirate Bay have to contribute? Co-founder Peter Sunde took part (via video-conference) in a panel at the SXSW Festival this weekend, and gave his views.
“What should actually happen is people should come up with smaller companies and go more directly towards the customers, and do crowd-funding or try alternative methods instead of the old ideas of how to fund things.” Which is interesting, given the current industry debate around investment in music, and alternative sources to the traditional label deal.
Sunde also laughed off last year’s attempted purchase of The Pirate Bay by Swedish firm Global Gaming Factory X. “It kind of died when it turned out the Global Gaming Factory people were more weird than the Pirate Bay people.”

Ottawa, Canada: Atlantic Multimedia President Michael Trenholm has reached an agreement with Maria Kanellis to direct the publicity and global release to radio of her debut single “Fantasy”
Maria Kanellis responded to an ad for a diva search on USA’s Monday Night Raw in 2004 and her life hasn’t been the same since.

She’s also done episodes of Family Feud, Project Runway, Sunset Tan, and Attack of the Show. On Sunday Maria began a stint on NBC’s The Celebrity Apprentice where she is competing on behalf of the Make A Wish Foundation.
Maria has a huge following around the world including 42 thousand fans that follow her daily comments on Twitter. “Fantasy” is an independently released single from the Rock Album EP Sevin Sins shipping to radio on March 28, 2010 and becomes available for purchase on Itunes on April 13, 2010.
Atlantic Multimedia was founded in Truro, Nova Scotia and operates today in Ottawa with Associates in Halifax, Ottawa and Toronto, Canada. Media requests for interviews with Maria Kanellis or to ensure delivery of the single “Fantasy” can contact Michael Trenholm directly by email or phone.
