MUSIC IS COOL
““...[Infinitus] was WAY beyond expectations. The way they related to the kids, their energy, their sense of humour, their music. One of the best performances [we’ve ever seen] in over 30 years…””

Infinitus consists of three award-winning young musicians from Canada and the United States. The trio comprises violin, viola and cello and presents an eclectic repertoire including everything from Mozart to vocal beat-box and TV show theme songs. The performance enhances cognitive skills and musical appreciation and stresses listening skills. Students learn the identical but distinct parts of a canon, the differences yet similarity in the movements of a theme and variations from a Scottish lament to the rhythmic complexities of hip-hop.
Gorgeous music, lots of audience participation and extraordinary ensemble playing make an Infinitus concert a memorable event for all ages.
