On July 24th, 2024, Sound Symposium XXI came to a close at Cape Spear National Historic Site. This site-specific, land-based work was conceived of by artistic director Erin Donovan of Hear Here Productions, along with co-artistic director and choreographic director Susanne Chui.

Cape Spear 24 was supported by Year of the Arts and CelebrateNL. Sound Symposium is supported by the Canada Council for the Arts, ArtsNL, the Government of Canada (Canadian Heritage), the City of St. John’s, and MusicNL.

We acknowledge the support of the Canada Council for the Arts.

We acknowledge the support of ArtsNL, which last year invested $5.3 million to foster and promote the creation and enjoyment of the arts for the benefit of all Newfoundlanders and Labradorians.
