“Whimsy runs rampant through every note of Nutcracker Nouveau… Yet whatever nonsensical heights are reached by such brainy musical mischief are surpassed by the playing itself.”
- Peter Goddard, The Toronto Star
Nutcracker Nouveau sees the musically diverse Ensemble Polaris reimagine Tchaikovsky's beloved Nutcracker Suite. A Canadian group created to explore the concept of the ”North” in music, the Ensemble uses instruments from Scandinavia, the Americas, Greece, and Central Europe to recreate the Waltz of the Flowers, the Dance of the Mirlitons and numerous other numbers as you've never heard them before, interspersed with original interpretations of folk tunes from around the world.
