POSTPONED until Fall 2022. Stay tuned for details

​Nicholas Ross: Expression through Trumpet and Violin 
​
Nicholas Ross, a Nanaimo musician and teacher, is a double-instrumentalist. He plays both the trumpet and the violin. Mr. Ross, who moved from Sudbury to Nanaimo a few years ago, readily established himself as a performer and teacher of both instruments and has worked with a variety of individuals and groups. Of the move he states, “The wonderful thing about being a musician and teacher is that, if you move, you have a ready-made community around you. Nanaimo is definitely such a community.  It is so rewarding to share the love of music with others.” 
In March, Mr. Ross will be performing with the Nanaimo Chamber Orchestra. He will play two pieces, one on the trumpet and one on the violin. Mr. Ross, in a recent interview, stated that by playing musical instruments “you are able to find an ‘abstract voice’ which is completely different than [speaking in] words. Both instruments have such possibilities for deep expression. But it would be true to say that there are things that are particular to each instrument. The trumpet opens up the world of jazz, which I have always loved. The violin has a seemingly endless amount of incredible music to investigate.” If you wish to read the full interview, click here. 
​
The concerts with Nicholas Ross and the Nanaimo Chamber Orchestra take place March 21st at VIU Theatre, Nanaimo, and March 22nd at Knox United Church, Parksville. Click HERE for more information.
