TMers,

For those of you within reasonable driving distance of Montreal, there are four upcoming programs of great interest at McGill that will successfully (knock wood) blend a wide variety of older and modern music -- a hot topic in recent threads here. These concerts are free for the public to attend and I would greatly enjoy meeting you there.

Questions or comments?

Best,
EC

Looks like a great set of recitals. I wish them all the best of luck.

Matthew,

You'll meet them all at Chosen Vale this summer and will have plenty of chance to compare notes on this stuff.

Cheers,

I wish Montreal was a little closer! These all look to be great recitals - quite a line up for the 23rd, I have to say. Hope there is one big party planned.

Can you tell us a little more about the world premieres? I only know a little about the composers - but not really anything about the pieces. Ryan Purchase wrote something for Amy Horvey last year, yes? I know Alex Eddington has done some theater things in Edmonton area - is this piece theatrical as well, or "strictly musical"? (Irony intended.) Trevor Grahl is an organist in Montreal, isn't he?

And I would still really love to see the LeBaron - I know you mentioned a possible audio from the April 14th recital in LA, but I really want to know what more about the visuals, too.

Hungry for more info-

Sandy,

I'll send you the notes after they have been written.

Jeremy is from Alberta and wonderfully organized. He has a great eye for grants, the necessary determination to apply for them, and has been successful with the provincial arts council level. I consider this his greatest strength (good trumpet playing can be built but personalities are simply that).

Fun that you mention Amy. She's leaving her orchestra gig to do a DMus at McGill next year (and will also be at Chosen Vale).

Hang tight for the LeBaron. I'll solve this for you.

Best,
EC

Thanks - I look forward to it whenever it works out. I have a few things to keep me busy for a while anyways!

Best,

Sandy

Sandy,
The eddington doesn't have any real theater, there is a little bit of speech, but when I approached Alex, I asked for a serious piece, The piece is very cool, and works great in a live hall. Ryan did write a piece for amy last year, the work that I am premiering on monday is for Mezzo, two celli, flugel. I have taken out a DHD camcorder, and will be recording my recital. Hopefully I'll have it posted on youtube or something by mid-may.
Jer!
(also, I know the piece Amy commissioned is available from Ryan Purchase directly. It's very cool and I encourage you to contact him to get it directly. His website is Hippocampal Music dot com: The music of Ryan Purchase )

Khora

Jer-

Thanks for the info and the link. I look forward to seeing it once you get it posted - whenever that is!

Have a great time tomorrow!

Sandy
