The phrase "going to the symphony" brings to mind certain words to describe the experience: traditional, upper class, formal, luxurious and, of course, classical. But if you’re a patron of Symphony Nova Scotia, you may have some other thoughts, too—like innovative, accessible, diverse, affordable and hip-hop.
 
Hip-hop? It’s true—recently Nova Scotia’s own Buck 65, a Juno award-winning hip-hop artist, joined the orchestra on stage at the Rebecca Cohn Auditorium. At one point in the landmark performance, director/composer Dinuk Wijeratne quipped, “This is the first time we’ve had a laptop with the symphony.”
