About This Release
On her new album, Marina Thibeault brings together the first viola concerto in history (from Georg Philip Telemann)
and one of the most recent (from Lithuanian composer Peteris Vasks). Viola Borealis sets out to weave a link
between different Nordic cultures by also integrating two works for solo viola (“Ningodwaaswi” and “Niizh”) by
Melody McKiver from the Anishinaabe indigenous nation.
