SUMMARY:Duo Perdendosi: Da Capo
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n  \n“Da Capo” is the story of how two young people from diaspora populations navigate complex personal identities\, find kinship within each other\, and continue to nurture an ever growing and changing relationship with homecoming through the power of music\, art\, and community. Featuring works by Purich\, Ho\, Ramnath\, Baker\, Davidson\, Kats-Chernin\, Hisaishi\, and Fauré. \n  \nProgram: \nPart I “Finding Ourselves”  \nLeo Purich – Konzertstück \nAlice Ho – Four Seasons “Spring” and “Summer” \nKala Ramnath – Aalap and Tarana \nDavid Baker – Blues (Deliver My Soul) \n  \nPart II “Finding Each Other\, Again” \nTina Davidson – Blue Curve of the Earth \nElena Kats-Chernin – Eliza’s Aria \nJoe Hisaishi – Legend of Ashitaka \n  \nPart II “Coming Home” \nGabriel Fauré – Sonata in A major\, Op. 13 \n  \nTong Wang and Maitreyi Muralidharan first met as bunk mates at the Brevard Music Festival in 2012\, and promptly lost contact\, watching and supporting each other’s life journeys from afar. 10 years after\, they rekindled their friendship in Montreal\, where they decided to work together as part of Trio Eudaemonia. Their similar approaches to music and art as a window into a beautiful world of connection\, passion for food and community building\, and love of working together sparked the beginnings of Duo Perdendosi. Both coming from conservatory backgrounds\, they recognized a need for classical and contemporary music to move away from convention and towards connection. In 2022\, they created the Windwood Music Festival in order to collaborate with like-minded artists and show how to connect a community through sharing the power of music to connect land and people. Maitreyi and Tong have performed in Canada and Germany and will embark on their first tour\, “Da Capo\,” in April 2023. Outside of performing\, they enjoy cooking\, writing\, and each other’s company. \n  \nduoperdendosi.com/da-capo \n

SUMMARY:From Oblivion to Hope - ALBUM LAUNCH
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\nI Am Who I Am Records is proud to present\, From Oblivion to Hope\, a string quartet album of music by Canadian composer Frank Horvat\, performed by the Odin Quartet. \nThis album starts pessimistically with a track called Oblivion\, which is an easy headspace to live in these days\, especially in the context of the pandemic and its outcomes. As the album progresses\, the tone evolves into something more optimistic\, ending with a heartfelt work simply called Hope. The idea of going from the negative to the positive is a mindset and a mental health issue that fascinates the composer these days. The hope is that we can all unearth a life with more hope. \nFour of the tracks on the album are dedicated to the composition The Four Seasons…in High Park. This piece combines inspiration for two greats – Vivaldi’s iconic work and Toronto’s High Park. A series of four music videos in High Park\, one in each glorious season\, are planned. \nAlbum generously supported by Canada Council for the Arts\, FACTOR Canada\, and Ontario Arts Council.

SUMMARY:My Sunset-Land Rojava (CD Launch)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n“My Sunset-Land\, ROJAVA” is retelling the tale of a heart-sore nomad (a Kamanche) from Kurdistan\, where tunes are born in her every brief stop she takes for a nap while passing the unwanted confines of the torn land of the Kurds. Every morning before sunrise settles\, Kamanche abandons the spot leaving a newborn Stran (song)…” \nMy Sunset-Land Rojava is an instrumental musical project for Kamanche (Spike-fiddle) which was initiated in 2014 by Shahriyar Jamshidi to highlight the lives of hundreds of Kurdish women who bravely fought and lost their lives for the freedom of Rojava (Western Kurdistan in North Syria) from radical ISIL group. As the project was funded by both Ontario Arts Council and Toronto Arts Council\, the album was publicized online (only) due to the pandemic in June 2020. \nNow\, we are delighted to make the first public album release event for My Sunset-Land Rojava at the heritage and lovely musical space “Canadian Music Center” in downtown Toronto. In connection with the philosophy of the project\, we would love to gather and have conversations to feature the “Jin Jiyan Azadi”\, Women-Life-Freedom\, revolution which has shaken the world by reverberating the Kurdish women’s movements in Rojava. For this purpose\, we are pleased to have: \n\nDr. Shahrzad Mojab\, professor at the University of Toronto\nSinem Eylem Arslan\, ethnomusicologist and Ph.D. candidate at the University of Toronto\n\nin our discussion panel. \nShahriyar Jamshidi will also perform Kamanche solo and walk us through the journey of producing the project during the event.\n“My Sunset-Land\, ROJAVA” album is available to purchase at the event. Get your copy which is covered with the dazzling artwork of the world-known Kurdish artist and activist Zehra Doğan and will be autographed by Shahriyar Jamshidi. \nAll profits from selling the albums are going to the organization to support surviving “Indigenous Yazidis (Êzidî) Women” from the IS genocide in Iraq and Syria.

SUMMARY:Rivers #3: Creative Music in Education
DESCRIPTION:RSVP\n  \nThe first River (Re-Imagined) presentation of 2023 will take place on Saturday\, February 11 at 10AM EST\, at the Canadian Music Centre. In addition\, it will be streamed online for those who are unable to attend in person\, and recorded for those who are unable to attend in real-time. \nPresented in collaboration with the Canadian New Music Network (CNMN)\, this workshop will be an introduction to the CNMN’s Participatory Creative Music Hub: a new music education resource featuring a collection of videos profiling what creating music looks like in five different music programs across Canada. The videos demonstrate creative exercises\, games\, warm-ups\, and ideas for lessons\, units\, and courses. \nAttending classroom and private lesson teachers will leave with creative music games and exercises drawn from these videos to try with their own students. We will also spend some time reflecting on what role these creative practices might have in disrupting the colonial patterns still often central to institutional music education. \nThe workshop will be hosted by Doug Friesen\, a teacher\, musician\, and researcher based in Toronto\, and Katherine Fraser\, a violinist and classroom music teacher also based in Toronto.

SUMMARY:Ensemble Silakbo - Est-Ouest
DESCRIPTION:5 NOV TICKETS\n7 NOV TICKETS\n  \n  \nEst-Ouest \nEst-Ouest is a presentation of contemporary music inspired by the folk traditions of both Canada and Bulgaria\, processed through the aesthetic visions of composers Svetlin Hristov (BG)\, Adam Vincent Clarke (CA) & Liam Elliot (CA) who\, on the commission of the Silakbo Ensemble\, composed three new works. The folk traditions of each other’s country served as the source material and inspiration for the musical creation. The concept is to connect foreign traditions\, to find how they diverge or interconnect\, whether that be by melody\, rhythm\, dress\, dance\, lyrics\, or instruments\, and apply it to modern classical artistic practices so as to honour the traditions explored. \nPerformed by: Ensemble Silakbo: Mikko Pablo (PH/USA) violoncello\, Adam Vincent Clarke (CA) Bulgarian bagpipes\, Angelina-Ogniana Gotcheva (BG) clarinet\, Yoanna Bozhkova (BG) soprano\, Bogdan Ivanov (BG) piano\, Edgar Gomes (PT)\, violin \nWith works by: Adam Vincent Clarke\, Svetlin Hristov\, Liam Elliot

SUMMARY:Est-Ouest - Workshop and Lecture on creative approaches to composing/creating cross-culturally
DESCRIPTION:When: 13h00 – 15h00\, Saturday\, November 5th\nWhere: CMC Toronto\nWhat: Workshop and Lecture on creative approaches to composing/creating cross-culturally\nCost: Free \n* The performance of Est-Ouest will take place later that evening at 19h00\, and on Monday\, November 7th at 19h00 in the Chalmers Performance Space of CMC Toronto. \n  \nDescription: \nAs part of the mandate of Est-Ouest we offer a creative outreach that focuses on the discussion and approaches to working interculturally within art. How one approaches music cross-culturally and how to build that exchange of knowledge into your own creative practice. This workshop features a lecture by Bulgarian composer Svetlin Hristov\, and Canadian composer Adam Vincent Clarke\, accompanied by Ensemble Silakbo as they discuss and share approaches to working in dialogue across cultures. \nEst-Ouest is a presentation of contemporary music inspired by the folk traditions of both Canada and Bulgaria\, processed through the aesthetic visions of composers Svetlin Hristov (BG)\, Adam Vincent Clarke (CA) & Liam Elliot (CA) who\, on the commission of the Silakbo Ensemble\, composed three new works. The folk traditions of each other’s country served as the source material and inspiration for the musical creation. The concept is to connect foreign traditions\, to find how they diverge or interconnect\, whether that be by melody\, rhythm\, dress\, dance\, lyrics\, or instruments\, and apply it to modern classical artistic practices so as to honour the traditions explored. \nPerformed by: Ensemble Silakbo \nMikko Pablo (PH/USA) violoncello\,\nAdam Vincent Clarke (CA) Bulgarian bagpipes\,\nAngelina-Ogniana Gotcheva (BG) clarinet\,\nYoanna Bozhkova (BG) soprano\, Bogdan Ivanov (BG) piano\,\nEdgar Gomes (PT)\, violin\nWith works by: \nAdam Vincent Clarke\nSvetlin Hristov\nLiam Elliot \nFor more information: \nhttps://silakboensemble.weebly.com/ \nhttps://adamvclarke.com/

SUMMARY:Rivers Workshop: ContaQt - Online Rehearsal and Collaboration
DESCRIPTION:The Canadian Music Centre\, in collaboration with the Canadian League of Composers\, is pleased to announce Rivers (re-imagined): a monthly series of presentations and hands-on professional development workshops for composers. \nThese will be in-person events at the Canadian Music Centre’s Performance Space in Toronto\, and they will be available for online streaming to ensure access for composers right across the country. Topics will include: grants\, funding\, and project management; contracts and licensing agreements; publicity and marketing; music technology; music education\, and others. \nThe workshops will provide concrete guidance and clear\, hands-on training for common professional scenarios encountered by the membership of both organizations\, and they will be free to both Associate Composers of the CMC\, as well as members of the CLC. \n———————————————————————————————————————————– \nOur first presentation/workshop will take place on Wednesday\, October 19\, 2022\, at 5:30. Members of ContaQt New Music will discuss and demonstrate the aesthetic and technical elements of online rehearsal and collaboration. \nLike many ensembles at the onset of the initial pandemic lockdowns\, ContaQt was faced with discovering new ways to musically engage with each other and audiences. Led by the research and experimentation of Jerry Pergolesi and Andrew Noseworthy\, and with technological facilitation by Jeff Morton\, and online performance mentoring with Tina Pearson\, we developed a means to play together in real-time from our isolated locations using a combination of digital audio workstations and the audio transmitter plugin\, AudioMovers’ ListenTo. \nThrough this process\, we became more integrated as a performing group than ever before and extended our artistic practice in ways that benefited our expanding repertoire that includes music by Brian Eno\, original compositions\, and improvisations. This music also embraces and engages with latency that is inherent to the internet. This workshop will demonstrate the potential for this performance practice and the possibilities for collaboration using this high-fidelity means of audio transmission.

SUMMARY:These are a Few of Our Favourite Bees - Artists Talk
DESCRIPTION:These are a Few of Our Favourite Bees investigates wild\, native bees and their ecology through playful dioramas\, video\, audio\, relief print and poetry. Inspired by lambe lambe – South American miniature puppet stages for a single viewer – four distinct dioramas convey surreal yet enlightening worlds where bees lounge in cozy environs\, animals watch educational films and ethereal sounds animate bowls of berries (having been pollinated by their diverse bee visitors). Displays reminiscent of natural history museums invite close inspection\, revealing minutiae of these tiny\, diverse animals\, our native bees. From thumb-sized to extremely tiny\, fuzzy to hairless\, black\, yellow\, red or emerald green\, each native bee tells a story while her actions create the fruits of pollination\, reflecting the perpetual dance of animals\, plants and planet. With a special appearance by Toronto’s official bee\, the jewelled green sweat bee\, Agapostemon virescens! \nIn this Artist Talk\, Sarah Peebles\, Ele Willoughby\, Rob Cruickshank and Steven Humphrey will discuss their artistic practices and themes related to the exhibition. \nStreaming Link

SUMMARY:Evergreen Club Contemporary Gamelan Symposium
DESCRIPTION:An online event hosted by the Canadian Music Centre and Arraymusic\, featuring scholars and practitioners from Indonesia\, Canada\, and the USA. The two online panels will explore these topics on Sunday\, June 5 (June 6 in Indonesia). You are welcome to join in the discussion.\n \nOVERVIEW \n\nIn the 133 years since Claude Debussy\, Maurice Ravel – among many thousands of other Europeans – first encountered Sundanese gamelan\, wayang\, angklung and dance at the 1889 Paris Exposition Universelle\, the diverse musics of Indonesia has fascinated Western musicians. It was the excitement of first discovering Balinese gamelan music 78 RPM discs that inspired Canadian pianist\, composer and researcher Colin McPhee to move to Bali in the 1930s. His pioneering work has inspired many others to study and more recently to perform on gamelan.Around 1960 gamelan courses began to be offered in universities in the US\, and in Canada on the heels of Expo ’86 Vancouver the site of the First International Gamelan Festival and Symposium. These developments had several long-term impacts on a small cadre of American composers. It provided them hands-on opportunities to learn these musical cultures\, as well as serving to embed composers and performers from various Indonesian regions in American academic and artistic circles.The first gamelan group in the country\, Evergreen Club Contemporary Gamelan (ECCG) has pioneered a Canadian approach to exploring hybrid links between post-classical and world music. Founded in 1983\, this professional eight-musician Toronto cooperative plays its own bespoke West Javanese-style degung. Its mandate includes commissioning new works by Canadian and international composers\, as well as presenting new interpretations of Sundanese music. ECCG has a long history of inviting Sundanese and Javanese musicians\, composers\, puppeteers and dancers to work with the group live and in the recording studio. In 2002 ECCG toured three cities in Java with a Toronto-based modern dance company performing and engaging in workshops. What ethical issues arise in such cultural and professional interactions? For example\, what is ECCG’s relationship to Toronto’s Indonesian community and to musicians and music scenes in Indonesia? What do Indonesian musicians think of ECCG and other “outsider” groups playing various types of gamelan? What are the many-facetted implications of playing – and creating gamelan music – outside its region of origin?Jointly organized by ECCG\, Arraymusic\, and the Canadian Music Centre\, this online symposium will begin to engage these questions and explore the broader context of Evergreen’s pioneering work. Featuring practitioners and scholars from Indonesia\, Canada and the USA\, this symposium seeks to plumb the current state of international gamelan music creation today and in the future. \n\n  \n\n\nSCHEDULE \n\n\nJune 5th 7:00pm to 8:30pm EDT – 4:00pm to 5:30 pm PDT – June 6th 7:00am to 8:30am WITA \n\n\nRoots and Offshoots – Gamelan in contemporary Indonesian music \n\n\nLINK \n\n\nPanelists: \n\n\n\nArya Deva Suryanegara (Bali/Canada)\, composer\, performer – Université de Montreal\nIwan Gunawan (West Java) composer\, musician\, music educator\, gamelan leader – Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia\, Bandung\nSutrisnoHartana (Central Java/Canada)\, composer\, musician\, music educator\, researcher – Simon Fraser University\nPutuHiranmayena (Bali/United States)\, composer\, musician\, musicologist – Grinnell College\nModerator: Jody Diamond\, American Gamelan Institute\n\n\n\n\n8:30pm EST to 9:00pm EST – Break\n\n\n\nJune 5th 9:00pm to 10:30pm EDT – 6:00pm to 7:30 pm PDT – June 6th 9:00am to 10:30am WITA \n\n\nLost in Translation?

SUMMARY:Reimagining
DESCRIPTION:Reimagining | a concert of new works for accordion & clarinet \nThe culmination of a multi-year project sees Joseph Petric (accordion) and Martin Carpentier (clarinet) perform new duo works developed by an international roster of composers. New relationships\, formed in the creation of each piece\, serve to refract and re-imagine their instruments\, their role\, function\, contexts and interpretive possibilities. The programme will hint at ambiguity\, vulnerability\, and fresh artistic perspectives offered by the confounding of expectation. \nBoth Petric and Carpentier have pursued careers as champions of process\, challenging orthodoxies while embracing the nexus of memory\, aesthetics\, and understanding achieved through their performance practice. \nHere reimagining is a renewal of process\, embedded within each new creation. \nThis concert will be presented as a livestream. Audiences can join through the CMC livestream event\, on this page \nConcert Programme | \nTransonique\, Gabriel Mălăncioiu – ROM \nBiarc\, Kathryn Knowles – CAD \nfoxred\, Daryl Jamieson – CAD/JAP \nmás tranquila (for pauline)\, D. Edward Davis – USA \nKinamulaìtan\, Juro Kim Feliz – PP/CAD \nMore about the programme | Juro Kim Feliz (PP-CAD) offers a traditional\, almost modernist rigour in the writing\, yet confounds expectation with lyricism\, and warm textural soundscapes; Gabriel Mălăncioiu (ROM)  offers an Eastern European perspective of the clarinet and accordion tinged with Stravinskian impulses; Kathryn Knowles  (CAD) offers a work which confounds expectation with episodic excursions; Edward Davis (USA) draws on the Conjunto accordion tradition with warmth and episodic declarations\, tinged by (and dedicated to) Pauline Oliveros’ Deep Listening traditions; Daryl Jamieson (JAP-CAD) delivers a transparent and ethereal work that triggers internalized and ritualized spaces. \nTechnical Personnel | \n\nAudio recording\, Peter Lutek \nGraphics\, Nigel Baines \n\n\nPerformer Biographies \nJoseph Petric\, photo credit: Bo Huang  \nJoseph Petric |Joseph Petric’s staunchly individualistic approach as concert and recording artist has drawn return engagements to Asia\, Europe\, Scandinavia\, United Kingdom\, the former Soviet bloc\, North America and the Middle East.

SUMMARY:Chris Pruden's Suns
DESCRIPTION:Suns is a set of solo piano improvisations and compositions performed by Toronto pianist Chris Pruden. \nWhile already recognized as a notable Canadian pianist/keyboardist in several projects (Tara Kannangara\, Sammy Jackson\, Zinnia\, Future Machines\, Language Arts)\, this is the first release under his own name. \nSuns\, released on Elastic Recordings\, is refreshingly informal\, recorded amongst friends\, documenting unfinished thoughts and new reflections in the moments they arrive and depart. Pruden exhibits technical and musical control that is always on the edge\, tumbling through insecurities and surrendering to the sound of the moment. It is both meditative and frenetic\, playful and serious\, vulnerable and resilient. \nThe seven pieces take influences from the music of György Ligeti\, Sun Ra\, Cecil Taylor\, Unsuk Chin\, Ann Southam\, and Elliott Carter (whose piano piece Catenaires is featured as a final track). \nThe album launch will feature a performance from Chris\, and a set of music from Yunjin Claire Lee. The event will be live streamed. No tickets will be made available publicly. \n\n\n\nChris Pruden Bio & Music \nChris Pruden is a pianist/keyboardist based in Toronto\, ON. Heavily influenced by jazz\, contemporary classical\, folk\, rock and electronic music\, Chris has performed across North America\, China\, and Europe.

SUMMARY:Hanging by a Thread
DESCRIPTION:The Canadian Music Centre will host Hanging By a Thread\, the inaugural virtual production by Toronto new vocal music concert series\, Slow Rise Music. Slow Rise Music was founded by musicians McKenzie Warriner and Tristan Zaba in 2021 to break new ground in classical performance and\, by showcasing the human voice in contexts different and arguably more relevant than traditional operatic or choral presentations\, improve access and give new life to the art form. \nHanging by a Thread features works from three composers: Isaac Zee\, a Vancouver-based composer/violinist from Hong Kong; Anika France Forget\, a UK-based Franco-Ontarian composer/vocalist; and Tristan Zaba\, a composer/vocalist/rock musician originally from Alberta. Each piece explores the theme of “survival\,” on commissioned texts by Canadian poets Pamela Galloway\, Aude A. Saint-Laurent\, and Tristan Zaba. \n\nIn keeping with the Slow Rise mission\, Hanging By a Thread explores multi-instrumentalism—the concept of players singing and playing instruments simultaneously\, which is common in popular music but unusual in classical presentations. All pieces will be performed by co-founders McKenzie Warriner on soprano voice and piano\, and Tristan Zaba on bass voice and electric guitar. Hanging by a Thread will take place live on YouTube. There is no charge to view aside from an optional donation to Slow Rise Music’s gofundme campaign. \n\nProgramme \nÀ vol d’oiseau | Anika-France Forget (composer)\, Aude A.

SUMMARY:Wounded Landscapes
DESCRIPTION:Wounded Landscapes is the culmination of nearly three years of collaboration between pianists Megan Thibeault (Halifax)\, Justin Paul Ortez (Michigan)\, and composer Cory Harper-Latkovich (Toronto). The result is three new works for piano: two solo works which evoke each respective pianist’s sensibilities as an artist\, and one piano duo which synthesizes elements of the solo works. \nSocieties of Solitude written with Megan Thibeault is a suite of shorter pieces which are individually unique in tone and energy and represent Thibeault’s own dynamic style as a performer. \nWounded Landscapes written with Justin Paul Ortez on the other hand\, is a large piece that stretches the perception of time and form and reflects Ortez’s own patience and focus as a performer. \nevocation\, Intimacy takes elements of the two solo pieces and presents them in a performance which reflects the ritual of collaboration that created itself: solitude\, coming together\, intense focus\, improvisation\, creation.

SUMMARY:Music for Incandescent Events : Skyview\, Here (version 4)
DESCRIPTION:Music for Incandescent Events : Skyview\, Here (version 4)\nAudio for skyscapes around sunset and sunrise. Livestream & downloadable for portable sky-viewing adventures.\n25 – 31 October at dawn & dusk | 07:40 + 18:10 (variable times)\n\n\n\nSouth-Western Ontario\, online | We invite audiences to tune-in during scheduled audio streams on Facebook during the week of October 25 occurring roughly at dawn and dusk for those based in South-Western Ontario. Streaming will coincide with the shifting light around sunrise/sunset within a broad zone ranging approximately from Peterborough in the East\, to London in the West\, and Barrie in the North. Tune in as the sky begins to change colour. \n\nAcross Canada\, offline | Audiences are also invited to download the dawn-dusk audio files for this work in order to listen offline at a self-directed time based on their location. We encourage you to creatively locate yourself off-line via bicycle\, ferry\, boat\, walking\, or driving with your portable listening device.\n\n\nCLICK HERE to download Music For Incandescent Events\n \nSchedule of streaming events | \n\nSunday\, October 25\, 7:40 & 18:10\nMonday\, October 26\, 7:40 & 18:10\nTuesday\, October 27\, 7:40 & 18:10\nWednesday\, October 28\, 7:45 & 18:05\nThursday\, October 29\, 7:45 & 18:05\nFriday\, October 30\, 7:45 & 18:00\nSaturday\, October 31\, 7:45 & 18:00\n\nAll instances will be streamed on the CMC Facebook Page. \nInstructions for experiencing the pieces | Place yourself with a skyscape view of your choice\, indoors or outdoors. Adjust your soundscape to your liking (e.g. open windows\, sit under a tree\, near waves or find a reflective surface\, etc.). Listen online live or via audiofile (download) during sunset and/or sunrise\, using good quality loudspeakers\, headphones or earbuds. \n\nAbout the Piece | Music for Incandescent Events meditates our perception of time\, memory and place\, creating a space for contemplation\, for awareness of one’s physical environment\, and for exploration of consciousness in the moment.\n\n\nEach iteration of Incandescent Events combines different improvised short melodies and tones performed on a slightly de-tuned shô (Japanese mouth-organ)\, re-recorded several octaves lower than original pitch. I recorded these melodies at very close range while sitting near a reflective wall\, catching rich beat patterns and sum/difference tones. These and additional frequencies beyond the range of human hearing transform into unexpected\, complex audio events at slower play-back speeds\, several octaves down. \nMusic for Incandescent Events version 1 (2002) is published on Somethings #1 (Last Visible Dog). Version 2 (installation) was commissioned by wade Collective for wade project in June\, 2004\, for Gibraltar Point\, Toronto Islands; it showed at the McLuhan International Festival of the Future\, “Scanning Nature” exhibition October\, 2004 (DeLeon White Gallery rooftop deck. Version no. 3\, Colour Temperature Event (for Gabriola Island\, Berry Point\, 2017)\, was curated for The QR Anthology \n\n~ Sarah Peebles
