The new '''Edmonton Transcultural Orchestra''' (ETO) seeks to bridge artificial "cultural" divides between people. "Culture" is an attribute of individuals, not groups; we share more than what divides us, and what divides us doesn't create separable groupings but rather overlapping sets. The ETO demonstrates the linkages among all humanity in two ways: (1) socially, in the group itself, which is diverse: university students, staff, and faculty; community, and (2) musically, by highlighting the flow of music through people.
