Toca Loca will be playing two shows in the Ottawa Chamber Music Festival, both on August 3rd. First show will feature works by Andrew Staniland, Juliet Palmer, Quinsin Nachoff and Nicole Lizée. Second show will be a performance of Grisey\’s Vortex Temporum, the greatest chamber work written in the past 60 years, IMHO.
More details here
Please note that the extra players mentioned are involved in the Grisey, not in the first show.

This is the third year that I\’ve been lucky enough to be working at the National Youth Orchestra of Canada. This year we are gathering in the lovely UWO Campus. I\’m playing a Haydn Trio with Steve Sitarski and David Hetherington tomorrow night, and some Shostakovich with Mark Skazinetsky. Especially exciting is a mass performance of Coming Together we have planned for July 13th. I\’ve never performed it with such a big group – should be pretty fantastic!
