BNMO is a professional orchestra comprised of highly respected musicians and talented soloists whose performances are comparable to the Canadian Opera Company, Metropolitan Opera and Boston Pops, as well as being inspired by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
Specializing in broad-based non-classical performances, BNMO is genre-crossing. Our repertoire features Pops, Broadway, Jazz, Rock, and World Music, and many of the scintillating arrangements are penned personally by Conductor and Artistic Director Charles Cozens.
Charles Cozens is the driving force of the BNMO. A highly acclaimed arranger, composer and orchestrator, Maestro Cozens is best known for compelling symphony shows, featuring his arrangements for full orchestra, performed by artists that include Sir Elton John, Randy Bachman, The Nylons, Mark Masri and more.
Widely prolific, Charles Cozens has over 150 CDs to his credit as conductor, composer, arranger, pianist and producer and has been recognized by the International Conductors Guild as a leading expert on orchestral conducting in the recording environment.
Quartetto Gelato is a must-see, multi-talented, internationally renowned quartet. Like the frozen dessert for which the group is named, this quartet delivers brightness and lightness combined with full-body substance in a variety of flavours.
