“For Bruce Rodney Dunn”

The commision for this work was funded by the Canada Council as part of their “three orchestra” commission policy. The three orchestras who are to premiere this symphony are: The Kamloops Symphony; The Okanagan Symphony; The Prince George Symphony.

The commission was initiated by Bruce Dunn, musical director of the Kamloops Symphony, for the City of Kamloops in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the founding of their city. It is a happy coincidence that this work is the composer’s Opus 100.
