Toronto Symphony Orchestra
DAM! The Story of Kit the Beaver is a Toronto Symphony Orchestra and TIFF co-commissioned short animated film directed by Kjell Boersma with a score composed by Erica Procunier. The film premiered with a live score in the Toronto Symphony Orchestra's Young People's Concert Series as well as the TSO's Education Series in February 2017. It was commissioned as part of the TSO's Canada Mosaic Sesquicentennial commissions to celebrate Canada's 150th anniversary. All nine performances were conducted by TSO resident conductor Earl Lee.
