"The Harbour Symphony is original music written for the horns of the ships in the St. John's harbour. This signature fanfare of the sound symposium transforms the ships into an orchestra on water. Each Harbour Symphony begins with a radio countdown transmitted by the Coast Guard. Players stand at the helms of tugboats, trawlers, and ocean-going freighters. At the signal, a giant, floating horn section reverberates off the Southside hills and through the streets of old St. John; echoing the soul of this 500 years old seaport.".
