Celebrated Canadian composer Amy Brandon‘s second album Lysis sheds light on her deft, timbrally rich output for ensembles of various sizes.  In addition to featuring her JUNO Award-nominated cello concerto “Simulacra” (as performed by Jeffrey Zeigler and Symphony Nova Scotia), it also sees her collaborating with a cast of brilliant interpreters that includes Quatuor Bozzini, Chartreuse Trio, India Gailey, and Ensemble Paramirabo.
