This concert was sold out last year, so buy your tix in advance. Six really bright and shiny composers from across the world and encompassing many different styles have written new works for the ensemble. I always learn new stuff at this show – and have to learn new tricks!
Kaija Saariaho is visiting Toronto courtesy of the TSO. You can see her and hear her music played by the Toronto Symphony at RTH (with Karita Mattila and Anssi Karttunen) Saturday May 7th at 8 pm.
There\’s also a Music Gallery show of her music tonight! Details below.
Also tonight, Pestova/Meyer duo at Gallery 345, if your not a Finn-o-phile.
Later – in the month – NMC, Continuum, Esprit, Emergents feat. Alex Samaras\’ GREX and the Katelyn Clark/Patrick Dupuis duo, plus a cool show by CONTACT featuring composer/death metal hero Helmut Oehring.
