Concert In The Phillip T. Young Recital Hall in Victoria

While adventuring in British Columbia we will be performing at several venues including the Phillip T. Young Recital hall located in the music building at the University of Victoria. This is where Kevin earned both his Bachelor and Master of Music. 

Included will be performances of Dialogues by Shelley Marwood, Cadenzas by Alexina Louie and others! Please join us at 8:00 on June 19th.

If you aren't in Victoria don't forget that we will be at the Murray Adaskin Salon at the Canadian Music Centre in Vancouver on June 21st at 8:00 and at Langley Community Music School on June 15th at 7:30. We look forward to sharing this wonderful music with you!

#MusicMonday John Burke

For the next few #MusicMonday Posts I'll be sharing some more information about the composers of pieces we are currently working on for our next set of concerts. I will start with John Burke the composer of Stealth for bass clarinet and marimba. As I mentioned before Stealth was commissioned for Lori Freedman and Sal Ferreras and if you would like more information on them check out the post from February 19. 

John Burke is an Ontario composer who studied at McGill University, McMaster University, as well as in France. He has taught at McGill, MacMaster as well as University of Victoria and has been awarded numerous commissions. For more details on his biography check out his biography on the Canadian Music Centre website. 

Check out Remember Your Power, a recording of pieces by John Burke through Naxos.

Canadian Music Centre! #MusicMonday

For this Music Monday post I thought I would highlight a great resource, the Canadian Music Centre!

The Canadian Music Centre supports Canadian composers, musicians and institutions through advocacy, resources, and the availability of materials. Scores and recordings for Canadian music are available through their library or for purchase. To top it off the staff is very helpful and friendly. If you've never visited the site check them out!
