Alexander joins host Michael Wolch live in studio

The international festival celebrates 25 years this year!

From percussion quartets to performances at Pan Am Pool, this festival promises to be an unforgettable one. Alexander Mikelthwate stopped by to give us a preview!

This year the festival looks both back and forward with three world premieres from  past composers-in-residence. They've invited some groundbreaking American voices to Winnipeg. And they look forward into completely new lines of exploration with a commission from Stephen O’Malley.

"You will see a snapshot of our society through extremes from the core of the symphonic tradition to unheard new sound worlds where time stands still. Through it all we will have conversation, art, food, music, and experiences that will challenge, stimulate and provoke."

- Alexander Micklethwate
