The Art Crush - Ensembl'arts, Djokic & Zhao Fund
By blending concert music with dance and the visual arts, Ensembl’arts creates immersive experiences in unexpected places and spaces. Its innovative approaches are deployed both onstage and offstage. They move audiences to experience a new type of multidisciplinary approach in the familiar context of a concert, while also giving equal performance space to each of the disciplines involved. With every new creation, Ensembl’arts seeks to weave stronger connections among music, dance and the visual arts. It does so by bringing new works to life in singular environments. The organization aims to develop innovative projects, educate the public about this special art form, and present performances of the highest quality across Canada.
“Our organization is led by a team and a board of directors made up of young artists and innovative and engaged leaders. The creation of the Fund, and the contribution from matching programs, gives this new generation of cultural workers the motivation and the support they need to build a promising financial future for the performing arts.”
– Avery Zhao, Artistic Director
