ABOUT SALT
SALT is produced by Tsilumos, a new music ensemble based in Victoria. Formed in 2011, the Tsilumos Ensemble performs chamber music ranging from duos to large instrumental combinations. Its main objective is to give new and little-known Canadian and international works an optimal performance, regardless of technical and intellectual demands or compositional style. Since its inception the ensemble has brought high quality, challenging new music to the larger community of British Columbia and in 2011 created the SALT Festival for New Music
