Whimsical Dreams in partnership with MRU Conservatory

Location: Bella Concert Hall, Mount Royal University
Pre-concert chat: 6:45pm
Concert: 7:30pm
Featuring students of MRU Conservatory’s program

We bring you works that push the boundaries of today’s performance practices and sonic experiences as we embark on the third year of our residency with MRU. This concert will feature students of the MRU Conservatory music program and include: Omar Daniel’s Giuco delle coppie, Gity Raza’s Strange Highway, Lera Auerbach’s Piano Trio No. 2, Michael van der Sloot’s Lux Aeterna, and Vincent Ho’s Celestial Garden. Then, experience the stereophonic effects of the Bella Concert Hall through spatialized (separated) ensembles: one performs Frank Ticheli’s In C Dorian on stage while another performs Vincent Ho’s Terry’s Whimsical Dream of Fanciful Birds…in C from the balconies, AT THE SAME TIME!
