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.

SUMMARY:TONE / CVN\, Koeosaeme\, Korea Town Acid\, Kat Estacio
DESCRIPTION:TONE\, Riparian Acoustics & Canadian Music Centre Present: \nCVN\nKOEOSAEME\nKOREA TOWN ACID\nKAT ESTACIO\n@ Burdock (1184 Bloor St. West)\n8pm\, $10/$12 \nCVN | CVN is Nobuyuki Sakuma\, previously of Jesse Ruins on Captured Tracks. Noboyuki’s CVN project emits a searching quality in electronic music. His wide variety in sound choice\, production style\, and curiosity with engaging a wide variety of artists through his Gray Matter Archives series makes his output consistently compelling. CVN has been published with Orange Milk\, Where To Now?\, and angoisse. He is the curator of the mix series Grey Matter Archives and is editor at the music online magazine AVYSS. \nKOEOSAEME | Koeosaeme is Ryu Yoshizawa’s solo project which pursues the fusion of programming and sound art. From 2004\, he has been a member of the sound artists group “OFFICE INTENZIO” under Yellow Magic Orchestra’s Yukihiro Takahashi. In addition\, he is in charge of live event backup support and recordings for Ryuichi Sakamoto\, Yukihiro Takahashi\, Kyoka and many others. He also produces music commercially for Lotte and Square Enix. \nKOREA TOWN ACID | Toronto based free form beat manipulator Jessica Cho creates swinging dance rhythms that draw from disassembled minimalism\, free jazz and the more avant-garde corners of techno. With a background as a classically trained pianist Cho brings a fresh prospective to the beat driven landscape\, letting seemingly abstract rhythms linger and mingle with moody textures. 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. Check her newest LP “Mahogani Forest” on Cosmic Resonance Records! \nKAT ESTACIO | Tkaronto (Toronto)-based Kat Estacio blends delicate\, abstract electronics with the traditional gong music of the Philippines to produce an engrossing\, mirage-like listening experience. \n$10 Adv at Rotate This\, Soundscapes\, Circus Books and Music\, and Canadian Music Centre\n$12 at the door\n$55 TONE 4 Show Pass\n$70 TONE Festival Pass \nBurdock is not fully accessible: there is one step at the entrance\, and there are gendered washrooms in the basement accessed by a flight of stairs.

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.
