Symphonuim is an electro-Acoustic ensemble comprised of
many dedicated musicians from the Lanark County region - many of whom have
in the past performed with such groups as: the NAC Orchestra, The Ottawa Symphony,
the Central Bad of Armed Forces, The RCMP Band, and The Cantata
Singers of Ottawa.
Led by Mark Bailey, we play an eclectic range of music from well-loved
movie music, to classical, to chilling sound-scapes. Using arrangements, original compositions, and sometimes
a slightly disturbed notion of tonal bliss, we provide a unique and entertaining musical experience for
all.
