Turning Point Ensemble

**Turning Point Ensemble** is a Vancouver-based contemporary music crew that’s been shaking up the classical scene since 2002. Co-founded by trombonist Jeremy Berkman, this crew thrives on blending old-school 20th-century gems with boundary-pushing new works, often collaborating with living composers to keep things fresh. Known for their genre-smashing shows, they mix chamber music, jazz, and global influences into performances that feel both brainy and wildly inventive. Recent releases like *Nova Pon: Symphonies of Mother and Child* and *Thirst: Ana Sokolović and Julia Wolfe* highlight their love for modern voices, while their knack for reviving underrated classics (like Scelsi’s *Kya*) keeps audiences on their toes. Beyond the stage, they’re big on mentorship, often teaming up with emerging artists to keep the new-music flame burning. If you’re into sonic adventures that defy labels, these are your people.
