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:Workshop: Vocal Improvisation and Tuning with Judith Berkson
DESCRIPTION:RSVP\n  \nFollowing Judith’s performance at the Women from Space Festival\, the CMC has invited Judith to give a workshop on her vocal improvisation practice. \nFrom Judith: \nWe will explore strategies and structures for improvising with our voices.

We will engage in free improvisation as well as slightly more structured exercises to develop our melodic and rhythmic ideas and to broaden our vocal sound spectrum.

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.
