SUMMARY:Prairie Punk: Nicole Lizée and her Karaoke Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:Break-Up Music \nNicole Lizée’s Karaoke Orchestra \nScenario: \n A karaoke machine is glitching. It rewinds\, stops without warning\, jumps between sections. Pitch and speed fluctuate.

SUMMARY:NME Autumn Equinox
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, September 20\, 2025\, 7:30 PM \n\nMile Zero Dance: 9931- 78 Avenue NW\, Edmonton\nAccess Intimacy (Brooke Leifso and Gary James Joynes); pseudo-antigone (Simone Atenea Medina Polo); Golden Sun Trio (Mustafa Rafiq; Nadir Bellhamer; Ethan Bokma); Gary James Joynes (aka Clinker); Nanyen Lau/ Jia Jia Yong \nNew Music Edmonton is celebrating its 40th anniversary season! \n\nAccess Intimacy\nBrooke Leifso and Gary James Joynes\nAccess Intimacy\, the score by Berlin-based composer Michael Winter and local Brooke Leifso is deceptively simple\, amplifying the difference of breath and body through sonic practices. The piece premiered in December 2024 and received support from Art Quarter Budapest (part of the Eastern European Network). The Edmonton premiere will be performed by Brooke Leifso and Gary James Joynes. Gary\, known for droning electronic-based sound art was invited to perform alongside Brooke. This work exists in an intersection of their art practices: meditative\, contemplative. Access Intimacy is also a term coined by disability activist Mia Mingus\, that speaks to the magical interdependent support\, more here. \npseudo-antigone\nSimone A. Medina Polo\npseudo-antigone shares excerpts from her recent album Melancholic Melodrama showcase the storytelling of the album and the experimental pop sound design around it. The album tells a quasi-fiction about the undoing of an insecure artist who severed her own humanity in a Faustian bargain to become TMZ-level pop star disaster. Sonically\, the album is influenced by the work of artists like FKA twigs\, Charli xcx\, A.G. Cook\, and SOPHIE with overproduced and exaggerated pop music with punchy beats\, industrial production\, and ironic yet heartfelt lyricism. \nGolden Sun Trio\nNadir Bellahmer\, Ethan Bokma & Mustafa Rafiq\nThis performance coincides with the release of “Lifecycles Ritual Myth”\, the group’s second full-length record and first with Edmonton label\, Honey Farm Records. An unofficial release party. Vinyl will be available for purchase through the band. \nClinker\nGary James Joynes\nPanta Rhei unfolds like an evolving river of sound. Inspired by Heraclitus’s philosophy that “everything flows\,” the performance builds an ever-shifting sonic landscape that resists structure\, embracing transformation. As modules connect and disconnect in real-time\, the audience is immersed in a living sound sculpture—fluid and impermanent. In Panta Rhei\, the only constant is change. \nNanyen Lau and Jia Jia Yong\nNanyen Lau\, erhu and Jia Jia Yong\, konghou\nNanyen Lau and Jia Jia Yong celebrate Chinese traditional music. Nanyen brings out the rich and soulful tone of the erhu\, a traditional two-stringed bowed instrument\, through repertoire that highlights regional genres and musical interpretations. Jia Jia plays the modern Konghou\, a double-strung harp with features that allow for unique techniques and ornamentation. Each artist will perform select solo pieces\, and together\, will present a unique arrangement of the famous Chinese folk song “Moon Reflection on the Erquan Springs”\, demonstrating the harmony of the two instruments. \n\nThe Artists\n\n\n\nBrooke Leifso (co-composer/performer) is a disabled/crip artist\, academic\, access consultant\, and expressive art practitioner (EGS\, MA\,EXA-CT). Most recently as a professional artist\, Brooke had recent fellowships at Akademie Schloss Solitude (Stuttgart\, Germany) and Art Quarter Budapest (Budapest\, Hungary) producing the performance series\, BODYwork describing an embodied lived experience through metaphor\, audio description and captioning. Access intimacy is part of the BODYwork series. Brooke is performing with Gary James Joynes. Photo credit Barni Kiss (courtesy of Art Quarter Budapest). \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\nGary James Joynes\, also known as Clinker\, is an award-winning visual and sound artist based in Edmonton\, Canada. He blends the beauty and physicality of sound’s auditory and visual elements in rigorous and emotional installation works\, and in Live Cinema AV performances. Joynes’ innovative and thought-provoking works have earned international recognition\, with exhibitions and performances held at renowned art galleries and festivals worldwide. His artistic practice invites audiences to experience the profound beauty of the unseen and to encourage a slowed and attentive state in viewers-to have them interrupt busy-ness for prolonged moments of being-ness. Photo credit Ian Hunter. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSimone A. Medina Polo is a philosopher and interdisciplinary artist based out of amiskwaciy-wâskahikan (Edmonton\, Alberta\, Canada). As a musician\, Simone has released multiple music albums as pseudo-antigone including her album Melancholic Melodrama which tells a quasi-fiction of the subjective destitution of an insecure artist who severed her own humanity in a Faustian bargain to become TMZ-level pop star disaster. Academically\, Simone has published articles and book chapters in philosophy\, psychoanalysis\, and Marxism with collaborators and editors such as Nicol A. Barria-Asenjo\, Slavoj Žižek\, Julie Reshe\, Vanessa Sinclair\, Todd McGowan\, and Duane Rousselle. Photo credit Simone A. Medina Polo and Pip Co \n\n\n\n\n\n\nGolden Sun Trio is an improvised music group formed by Nadir Bellahmer\, Ethan Bokma & Mustafa Rafiq based in amiskawaciy-waskahikan (Treaty 6\, edmonton\, ab) Live performances have drawn comparisons to the Necks & Jamie Branch . Dense & airy\, punctual and fluid. This devotional sound is wrung from the transitive nature of improvisation. The group continues to work and propel further. Recording sessions are one-take afternoons spent at Bellahmers home studio\, gathered around tea. often no words will be said before music is flowing. The new record is prairie blues\, folktale and new-age meditations ‘Lifecycle\, Ritual\, Myth’ Out Fall 2025 on Honey Farm Records. Photo credit @momerfish. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWith 20 years of experience in performing and teaching Erhu\, Nanyen Lau is dedicated to bringing Chinese culture and music to a wider audience through teaching and playing for community events in the city. She is a longtime member and current concertmaster of the Edmonton Chinese Philharmonica Orchestra and one of the forces behind Edmonton’s emerging Echo Ensemble\, and on the side enjoys playing covers of video game\, anime and movie soundtracks on YouTube. Photo credit Nanyen Lau. \nJia Jia Yong is a harpist and composer based in Edmonton. She performs as a freelance musician at various events in Edmonton and area and also enjoys developing collaborative projects with other musicians and artists. In 2022\, Jia Jia received a grant from the Edmonton Arts Council to learn the modern konghou\, a Chinese harp\, becoming one of only a handful of players in North America \n\n\n\nAccessibility\nMile Zero Dance Space (9931 – 78 Avenue NW\, Edmonton): accessible building with multiple all-gender washrooms. There is a cleared path from the front door to the warehouse space. We have two accessible washroom facilities on the main floor as well.

SUMMARY:Samy Moussa\, Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:Daniel Raiskin\, conductor\nAlexei Volodin\, piano  \nSamy Moussa: Elysium\nPyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky: Piano Concerto No. 1\nJohannes Brahms: Symphony No. 4 \nPhoto: Marco Borggreve. \nOur season begins in spectacular fashion. Blending melody and emotion with technical wizardry\, Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1 is the most popular piano concerto of all time. No one wears their heart on the sleeve like Tchaikovsky; each bar is on fire with emotional chaos\, honesty\, turmoil\, and jubilation. \nAt the keyboard is returning guest artist Alexei Volodin. This time round\, Volodin tackles the first Tchaikovsky concerto in our season opener before presenting the less famous second at our first Sunday matinée. \nAlso on the program is the final formal symphonic composition by Johannes Brahms — a composer who struggled with the pressures of writing a first symphony. This last work presents an assured composer writing with clear\, powerful emotion that is compelling and complex. \nThe evening begins with a work inspired by the everlasting paradise of the ancient Greeks. Penned by Canadian Samy Mousa\, Elysium is a monumental work that has become his musical calling card.
