All concerts are at the University Centre Farquhar Auditorium. FROM THE CRITICS "And a fine performance it was; [Dvorak's Symphony no. 9] is hardly easy music, technically speaking, and presents numerous significant challenges, through all of which Sándor guided his youthful musicians skillfully and tactfully"... Dreyk Barker, Times Colonist Victoria November 18, 2002 "Yariv Aloni and his youthful players closed the concert with a first-rate performance of the [Schumann Rhenish] symphony; in fact I've rarely heard a performance in which each of the five movements was so equally well argued."
