Dark Flower is the first in a series of digital concerts marking Thin Edge New Music Collective’s 10th anniversary season. Named in honour of Linda Catlin Smith’s newest piano quartet, Dark Flower was commissioned by TENMC with generous support from the Ontario Arts Council. This concert is a celebration of the group’s long-standing relationship with Linda. A guiding voice, and mentor to so many within the contemporary music community, she has been a source of inspiration to Thin Edge from the earliest days of our ensemble.

Dark Flower is free to attend virtually, with the option to contribute a PWYC donation to TENMC through their Canada Helps Page.

During these difficult times, if you have the means to contribute the price of a ticket, we would like to suggest that in lieu of donating to TENMC, you direct your funds towards the Native Youth Resource Centre.
