It’s not often that new music from Latin America makes its way up to Canada, but when it does, I find that I am usually impressed with the quality of it. Hopefully, tomorrow’s concert at the Canadian Music Centre will not break this trend.
Pianist Luciane Cardassi, a pianist in the United States and now Canada, has made it her business to collaborate with composers, and her work since she moved to Canada in 2006 has been nothing short of impressive. Premiering more than 30 works by Canadian composers in her time here, she is an active and valuable participant in the new music scene in Canada.
Tomorrow night’s concert at the Canadian Music Centre continues the trend of new music with several world premiers by Canadian and Brazilian composers. Among them, Emilie LeBel, a prominent Toronto-based composer who was last year’s winner of Canadian Music Centre’s 2012 Toronto Emerging Composer Award as well as the Canadian Federation of University Women Elizabeth Massey Award.
If you get a chance, get out to the CMC at 8 PM tomorrow night to see this concert, as I’m sure it will make for an enjoyable evening.
The Canadian Music Centre is located at 20 St. Joseph Street Toronto, ON.
