Polaris selected as a Beacon Artist at Norturne: Art at Night Festival

Following the 2018 peformance by Polaris of Jason Noble's work Furiouser and Spuriouser (which was seen by over 1,400 audience members), Polaris returns to the 2019 Nocturne: Art at Night Festival, this year as a Beacon Artist!

Polaris will be presenting the world premiere of Three Little Pigs, by composer Ryan Henwood (Polaris' Principal Conductor) and lyricist Claire Bennet. The work will explore the theme gentrification through the reframing of the classic tale of the three little pigs. 

Come to St. Paul's Anglican Church for performances every hour, beginning on the hour, during the festival. Free admission!
