SUMMARY:In Waves | A Presentation by Darcy Spidle
DESCRIPTION:Just over a decade ago\, Darcy Spidle (aka chik white) moved to West Chezzetcook\, a small coastal village outside of Halifax\, Nova Scotia. Around that time a friend gave him a toy jaw harp as a birthday gift. The harp worked well enough that Spidle became obsessed with playing it\, and he became especially fond of taking it on hikes along the rugged coastline near his home. For Spidle\, jaw harp and the sea have been intertwined ever since\, a fact well documented throughout his substantial discography. \nAs his jaw harp technique advanced\, so did Spidle’s use of ocean recordings. The early recordings are simple: rhythmic drones on the harp and waves pounding in the distance. Later releases involve more abstract engagement with the instrument and increasingly experimental approaches to capturing marine audio—recording from a musical raft adrift at sea\, noisemining magnet tape dredged from the ocean floor\, amplifying hurricane wind\, etc. With his talk at the CMC\, Darcy will attempt to explain the evolution of his work as both a jaw harp player and field recordist. \nAdmission is Free \nIf you cannot join in person\, tune in to the Livestream of the presentation! \nBanner Image Credit: Alex Pearson

SUMMARY:Focus on Canadian Composers
DESCRIPTION:This concert is built around a new album of Canadian works that guitarists Steve Cowan and Adam Cicchillitti will be releasing with Analekta in October 2019. These pieces aim to push the technical limits of the instrument and communicate a message that is boldly Canadian; one that celebrates the variety of musical influences that inspire our composers. From the Balinese gamelan to heavy metal\, from progressive rock to Latin American grooves\, the album “Focus” fuses an eclectic mix of popular musical styles with classical music through the medium of the guitar. \nFunded by MusicAction and the Canada Council for the Arts\, Cicchillitti and Cowan champion the 21st century guitar with their “focus” on new Canadian music.

SUMMARY:Alphabet of Wrongdoing | SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION:* THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT: please contact matthew.fava@cmccanada.org to be added to the waiting list. \nThe texts and melodies are traditional and ancient; the context and arrangements are modern\, impressionistic\, and subversive. Ceremonial Jewish prayers and blessings encircling themes of reckoning\, forgiveness\, mortality\, striving\, and atonement\, reimagined for secular audiences and secular spaces. Alphabet of Wrongdoing is the newest project from Snowblink’s Daniela Gesundheit. Both the album and the performances are investigations of communal gestures of forgiveness — attempts to ”Restore dignity to experience through music…” (poet Alan Felsenthal) \nCan we transmute a world’s weight of unforgivable acts\, an Alphabet of Wrongdoing? \nFeaturing Johnny Spence\, Phil Melanson\, and Alex Lukashevsky  \nTime / Doors 6:30 pm\, Concert 7:00 pm \nAbout Daniela / \nDaniela Gesundheit is a vocalist\, composer\, and cantor. She has collaborated with celebrated acoustic biologist Katy Payne (Songs of the Humpback Whale) for performances that feature choirs trained in the principles of Humpback whale ‘composition\,’ and with the Institute for Art and Olfaction in Los Angeles creating immersive olfactory music events that have been staged throughout the US and Europe\, including the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles. \nShe was a featured vocalist alongside Brian Eno on Owen Pallett’s In Conflict and on astronaut Chris Hadfield’s Songs From a Tin Can – the first record ever to be recorded in space. As Snowblink\, Gesundheit writes non-denominational devotional pop music and has released three critically acclaimed records on Fire\, Arts & Crafts\, and Outside Music. She is also a member of the band Hydra\, a collaboration between Feist\, Snowblink\, and Montreal’s LaForce. She sings traditional Jewish liturgy for the first queer-inclusive synagogue in Toronto and officiates lifecycle rituals in California and Canada.

SUMMARY:Femmelody: NYC x Toronto
DESCRIPTION:Femmelody Chamber Music Collective is a NYC-based group of women and non-binary musicians performing music by women and non-binary composers of the past and present. Through our concerts and events\, we intend to awaken an awareness of the contributions of women across artistic and professional disciplines that have been historically dismissed. Femmelody CMC had its debut concert in the fall of 2017. \nSince then\, we have established a classical music concert series in Manhattan and Brooklyn. We also host a series of Open Mic Night and Talkbacks that showcases women and LGBTQ+ artists in intimate\, casual settings. We pair these open mic performances with productive and healing conversations surrounding gender and social justice and other related topics. \nNYC x Toronto is the product of a cross-city collaborative artistic effort between early-career women musicians based in both cities throughout 2019. This program of music for flute\, percussion\, violin\, and electronics will feature Canadian premieres of works by Stephanie Orlando (Toronto)\, the Rebecca Gray and Adrienne Scott artistic duo (Toronto)\, and Yael Litwin (NYC)\, as well as other contemporary works by women composers.

SUMMARY:Émergences (f. pl.)
DESCRIPTION:Émergences (f. pl.) – Five New Experimental Works by Canadian Women Composers \nDate: Friday\, August 2\, 2019\nTime: Doors 7:30 pm\, Concert 8:00 pm\nAdmission: PWYC\, suggested $10 students/arts workers\, $15 general\, no one turned away \nCanadian musicians Sara Constant (flutist) and An-Laurence Higgins (guitarist)\, with the Association of Canadian Women Composers (ACWC)\, Innovations en concert\, and the Canadian Music Centre (CMC)\, will present Émergences (f. pl.)—a concert project connecting the work of early-career women composers from Toronto and Montreal. \nFollowing a premiere concert on July 31 at Montreal’s Galerie d’art le Livart\, the group will bring their project to the CMC concert space in Toronto\, where they will present five new works by composers from both cities: Véronique Girard\, Gabrielle Harnois-Blouin\, Shelley Marwood\, Thais Montanari and Lieke van der Voort. \nThe works on the program combine chamber music with electronics\, video\, poetry and movement. Developed in close collaboration with the composers\, the project aims to seek out new\, interdisciplinary working methods for music-making—ones that represent new voices within the Canadian new music community\, and offer models for musical co-creation that disrupt conventional classical music practices. \nWorking to build connections between Francophone and Anglophone spaces in both cities\, Émergences (f. pl.) aims to help open up a space for meeting and listening\, where artists and concertgoers can exchange dialogue on how gender identity in classical music intersects with artistic creation. \nBased in Toronto and Montreal respectively\, Sara Constant and An-Laurence Higgins are both active soloists and ensemble musicians specializing in new/experimental music. They have been collaborating since 2016\, presenting chamber music in Toronto and Kitchener-Waterloo and working together as artists-in-residence at the 2018 Waterloo Region Contemporary Music Sessions (WRCMS). This is their first commissioning project as a duo.

Her tracks ebbs and flow as electronic pulses\, beats\, and clicks coalesce only to transform once again. Manicured peaks and valleys are dotted with hints of what’s to come. Sonic clues lost in a feeling.

SUMMARY:Bandoneón Masterclass for Composers
DESCRIPTION:The Bandoneon\, mostly known as the “tango accordion\,” is a free reed instrument that was developed in Germany at the end of the 19th century and evolved in Argentinian popular music. Despite of it’s folk connotation the Bandoneón was designed with the polyphonic and expressive criteria found in classical instruments. \nIn the last thirty years the Bandoneón has gained recognition as a concert instrument\, as soloist\, in chamber music\, contemporary and experimental music\, its musical growth and projection goes beyond tango and traditional music and it certainly has great potential for composers nowadays being a very expressive polyphonic instrument with strong presence in ensembles and solo. \nThe lecture will explore the sonorities\, textures\, harmonic\, melodic and polyphonic aspects using both traditional and modern music. The event is oriented to composers or arrangers and composition students from all genres. \nThis is event is free! If you cannot attend in person you can join the livestream. \nAbout Amijai Shalev //  \nAmijai (pronounced Ami-hai) is one of those rare musicians in the bandoneon world who has broken out of the common tango mold to explore the full polyphonic and rhythmic potential of the instrument. Earning his degree from the “Manuel de Falla” Conservatory of Buenos Aires in 2012\, he studied under the tutelage of maestro Rodolfo Daluisio\, the great pioneer of classical and contemporary music for the bandoneon. Following in the footsepts of Maestrol Daluisio\, Amijai has forged a career encompassing the full range of the bandoneon: from solo classical to orchestral works\, from tango to heavy metal compositions. \nPresently\, Amijai performs in the eclectic duo Orquesta Diptica (contemporary tango by Marcelo Lodigiani) and in the jazztango quartet of Julian Graciano. In 2017 he released his instrumental heavy metal recording “Bandolirium” from which the track “Falso Dilema” won first prize in the Nuevos Aires competition for new tango compositions. \nAmijai currently teaches senior students of the J.P Esnaola School of Music in Buenos Aires\, and is the Professor of Bandoneon in two of the main conservatories in the province of Buenos Aires. \nBorn in Canada to a Polish father and Argentine mother\, and raised in Israel\, Amijai has resided in Buenos Aires since 2006. \n  \nAccessibility information: The Canadian Music Centre is an accessible venue through a street level entrance to the right of the main entrance. The CMC has gender neutral washrooms. Contact matthew.fava@cmccanada.org with any questions pertaining to accessibility for this event.
