Allusions to Seasons and Weather: Music from a Year in Norway with Former ASF Fellow Michael Straus.

I’ll be playing Peter Swendsen’s “Before Frozen Fog” (written for Bird on a Wire) at the following event:

Composer Peter V. Swendsen presents a full program of new and recent compositions for instruments, electronics, video, and dance, performed by some of the finest young performers in contemporary music, including former ASF Fellow Michael Straus, saxophone; Sigrun Eng and Sarah Biber, cello; Dana Jessen, bassoon; Terri Hron, recorders; and Jennifer Torrence, percussion.
Allusions to Seasons and Weather: Music from a Year in Norway is a set of four pieces based on Swendsen’s experience of seasonal transitions in Norway, where he lived from 2006-2007 as a Fulbright Fellow in residence at the NoTAM Computer Music Studios in Oslo. Each composition uses acoustic instruments, electronics processing, and field recordings to evoke a sense of time and place. The first full performance of this entire set of works premiered at the Sound of Mu in Oslo, Norway in May 2011.
The core of the concert is the first full U.S. performance of Allusions to Seasons and Weather, as well as featuring NYC premieres of new works for cello and dance, as well as a collaboration with saxophonist and former ASF Fellow Michael Straus.
Following the concert, Swendsen will discuss the locations and experiences that served as inspiration and material for these pieces, as well as his process of working closely with the performers during the composition process.

Join Spiritus Chamber Choir on a journey to 17th century France, to hear some of the greatest music of the time. Marc-Antoine Charpentier, born the year of Monteverdi’s death, lived in the shadow of his great contemporary Jean-Baptiste Lully. His music, however, was written with both an elegance and dramatic joie-de-vivre that is characteristic of French music to this day. Calgary audiences will be thrilled by the beauty and grace of Charpentier’s Mass for 8 voices, violins & flutes. The dramatic string playing will be handled by some of Alberta’s finest baroque musicians and guests from across the country.

À l’approche de Noël, nous vous invitons à un concert unique où les chants mystiques et sacrés du Moyen-Âge font office d’une messe signée Constantinople. Puisés dans le vaste répertoire des musiques du bassin méditerranéen, ces chants sont dédiés à la vierge Marie et nous rappellent l’esprit d’union entre ces différentes traditions. Missa Mystica revisite quelques-unes des plus belles pages des manuscrits des Cantigas de Santa Maria, des hymnes syriaques et byzantins et des lamentations de la Vierge.
