Season 16!!
Members of Definitely Not the Symphony (DNTS) are tuning up for the beginning of a 16th season of music-making. Led by conductors Marti Hopson, Lucy Morkunas and Travis Boudreau, DNTS is an eclectic group of music enthusiasts who gather to play instrumental pieces on a regular basis. We are 'the all-comers orchestra'. We are recruiting people interested in string, percussion and wind instruments and welcome all ages and musical abilities. Always wanted to learn a new instrument or brush up on your skills? Consider joining our group! The aim is to enjoy making music together, learn, and have fun!
The new season will begin on Saturday, September 7, 2024 with the orchestra meeting weekly on Saturday mornings (September to June) at the Benevolent Irish Society (BIS) located at 582 North River Road in Charlottetown.

DNTS Begins 13th Season
Members of Definitely Not the Symphony continue to make music together under the direction of our new conductor, Marti Hopson, and assistant conductor, Tim Fitzpatrick.
Practices were suspended in March 2020 due to the Covid-19 lockdown, however, we were able to re-assemble in October 2020 to begin practices once again while following mandated Covid protocols. A new location for practices had to be found. We were able to rent space at the Jack Blanchard Centre at 7 Pond Street in Charlottetown.
DNTS will begin its 13th season on Saturday, September 18, 2021. Due to space restrictions and the high number of returning musicians, we regret that we are unable to welcome any more new members at this time. However, DNTS is currently looking to replace the percussionist for the orchestra as our previous drummer is now playing the double bass. If you are interested please contact us .
CBC Mainstreet Interview
On Thursday, April 16th, the following interview with DNTS founder, Jenny Likely, and co-conductor, Liam Payne, aired on CBC Radio Mainstreet. The actual interview regarding the orchestra's search for a new conductor took place in March before the COVID-19 social distancing policy went into effect. The deadline for expressions of interest in the conductor position was March 31st.
