The glass greenhouse windows on two sides are controlled by two electric motors and now open to allow hot air to escape. While this isn’t air conditioning, the Theater should be more comfortable in the fall and spring months. So now look up at the stars before the curtain rises and then watch as the remote controlled motor - ized shade covers the skylight so the shows can begin!

  • Press Release: 15 YEARS of ELAN
    Press Release: 15 YEARS OF ELAN On Monday, August 26, ELAN (English Language Arts Network) will be celebrating 15 years of serving the English-speaking arts community of Québec! ELAN was created in 2004, when 150 English-speaking artists from multiple artistic disciplines gathered to examine the state of the arts in Québec. After decades of decline and departures, the post-1995 referendum arts scene was experiencing a remarkable renaissance. Young artists were choosing to stay in Québec, and other artists were returning after living away. Artists, particularly musicians, from across Canada were flocking to Montréal because of cheap rents and a vibrant art scene, in what was described as the “Arcade Fire Effect”. ELAN’s first challenge was to make contact with thousands of artists working in multiple disciplines who were living in different parts of Montréal across different regions of Québec. Monthly schmoozers in popular bars proved a simple and effective way to connect artists. The RAEV (Recognizing Artists: Enfin Visibles!) project provided public visibility by creating profiles and videos about life in Québec for minority English-speaking artists. Guernica Essays published Minority Report, a collection of essays on the history of English-language artists in Québec. ELAN’s Made au Québec website aggregated an impressive volume of media coverage from around the world, demonstrating the impact of Québec’s English-speaking artists. ELAN has worked closely with communities around Québec in many ways. Arts Alive! Québec festivals (2014-2018) produced dozens of performances, presentations and hand-on-workshops, employing hundreds of artists in Hudson, Knowlton, Wakefield, Huntingdon, Québec City, and Montréal’s West Island.

  • NEW ASIA Abstracts
    2018 Nief-Norf Research Summit NEW ASIA Abstracts Panel #1 Crafting Musical Identities in the West Kiu Tung Poon (The Chinese University of Hong Kong): Performing Intercultural Music of the Chinese Diaspora The idea of returning to the composer’s cultural roots as sources of musical inspiration, as clichéd as it may sound, has been embraced as an effective metaphor for musical creativity in much of the twentieth century and beyond by Chinese musicians at home and abroad. This presentation will look at two piano works by Chinese composers Chen Yi (b.1953) and Liang Lei (b.1972) to examine the sonic attributes that have been framed as “Chinese” and “Western,” as well as the language and strategies of musical syncretism that have been featured so prominently in these compositions. In her much performed Ba Ban, Chen juxtaposed what was essentially a pentatonic melodic template, or “mother tune,” for hundreds of traditional Chinese melodies with chromaticism and serialism. Liang, in his The Moon is Following Us, reinterpreted a Qinghai folksong in aid of audio signal processing and set the pitch materials in an avant-garde fashion. This presentation will shed light on the interpretative choices of the composers and the purported integration of distinctive musical languages with explicit reference to folk, authentic compositional elements. I will also attempt to suggest performing approaches in the discourse of musical syncretism. Young Steinway Artist Kiu Tung Poon appeared as recitalist and collaborative pianist on concert stages in the US, France, Germany, Portugal, Vienna, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Macau, and Mainland China. International music festival appearances include Tanglewood and Aspen in the US, Great Wall in Beijing, and Le French May in Hong Kong.

  • Performing Arts Industry a Look Back, a Peek Ahead in the Introduction Whew
    December 2012 THE YEAR PERFORMING ARTS INDUSTRY A Look Back, A Peek Ahead in the Introduction Whew. What a year. One orchestra emerges from bankruptcy while others struggle to function within outdated models; one hugely expensive Ring cycle is declared the disaster of the century, while another far less pricey one triumphs. Music’s efficacy as more than just food for the soul is proven by a neuroscientist using pitch and rhythm to help an autistic child speak for the first time. El Sistema spreads like the best of wildfires to turn an entire generation of disadvantaged youngsters into mini virtuosos and confident, up-standing CONTENTS citizens. Our Year in the Performing Arts Industry actually covers about 16 months—from 2 Introduction the beginning of the 2011–12 season up through the end of November 2012. Nancy Malitz touches on the major News Milestones (some of which are 4 2012 Newsmaker mentioned above), while Wynne Delacoma canvases music critics in each of the Damian Woetzel major markets to discover some Truly Inspired Ideas your colleagues have come up with.

His wild guitar sounds are daggers in the heart of classical music pretense...” - Hour Weekly For Immediate Release, September 9, 2009 … Groundbreaking Montreal-based electric guitarist and composer Tim Brady, renowned for his radiant orchestrations and innovations in creating a new voice for the electric guitar, celebrates the 20th Anniversary of his ensemble Bradyworks this season, with a new CD and DVD, a cross-Canada tour of his extraordinary music/video/theatre work My 20th Century, the premiere of Requiem 21.5, a new work for Orchestre symphonique de Laval (where he is composer in residence), culminating in a residency at the Winnipeg New Music Festival where three of his large-scale works will be featured, including the world premiere of a work in memory of Les Paul for 20 electric guitars, electric guitar solo and orchestra. A unique artist on the new music scene, Brady has been declared "our prince of accessible avant-garde" (Montreal Gazette) and “the leading proponent of gaining acceptance of the electric guitar in new music (Downbeat Magazine). And, as a solo guitarist, he continues to make an unforgettable impact with his "astonishing virtuosity and brilliant mastery of tone colour.” (Berlingske Tidende, Copenhagen) Premiered in 2006, My 20th Century: A music/video/theatre narrative in 4 works, completed a 5-city Quebec tour last year and now reaches 10 additional Canadian cities this season (9 this fall, with the addition of Winnipeg in February).

Quite a few of the spectators had certainly made a special effort to be in the neighbourhood, because they knew that Canadian composer and guitarist Tim Brady had been commissioned by Toronto’s Luminato Festival for a work celebrating what would have been George Harrison’s seventy-fifth birthday. The result was the piece they were hearing: While 100 Guitars Gently Weep - Concerto for George. However, for many in the crowd this event was probably their first exposure to Brady’s music. Those who went on their way resolving to become better acquainted with his compositions will find no shortage of recordings to choose from: the discography on his website (timbrady.ca) lists more than twenty, from his earliest, jazz-based CDs to this latest disc on the Starkland label. The stylistic span of these recordings illustrates the disparate roots of Brady’s musical personality as both composer and performer.

  • Symphony Nova Scotia Quotes
    QUOTES “It was truly uplifting, enough to bring tears to your eyes... it was a performance I will never forget.” - The Coast “(Symphony Nova Scotia) has got a hell of a reputation.” - John Rhys-Davies, actor “As the entire symphony joined in, it became one of several points during the show when I felt genuinely overcome... together, the 80-plus musicians on stage and the hundreds of audience members were engaged in some sort of shared spiritual moment (even if only of the secular spirit).” - Exclaim! “When I think of Symphony Nova Scotia’s commitment to the Haligonian community and to reaching new audiences for classical music, it makes me right proud to be a Maritimer!” - Measha Brueggergosman, soprano “My evening performing with Symphony Nova Scotia was one of the most memorable events of my entire career. I felt like my feet weren’t even touching the stage. That’s what a night with SNS can do – lift you off the ground, stop time, acquaint you with the rarest beauty, and allow you to dream while still awake. I’ll never forget it.” - Buck 65 (Rich Terfry) “I have always been struck by both by the orchestra’s approach to trying new and innovative ideas for creative music programming, and by their total commitment to the highest possible performance standards for new works. A Canadian composer cannot ask for a better orchestral partner than SNS.” - Tim Brady, composer “There’s nothing like seeing one of your favourite artists embodied in the lush arrangements of Symphony Nova Scotia’s Maritime Fusion series.” - The Coast “The connection and commitment to young audiences is one of the things that makes Symphony Nova Scotia so special.
