Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra New Music Festival "Breaking New Ground"
I'm honoured to be invited as one of the Distinguished Guest Composers for this year's Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra New Music Festival. My wife and I will be in Winnipeg for the entire festival. On Sat. Feb. 6 the Winnipeg Symphony will perform the world premiere of Falling from Cloudless Skies, and on Thur. Feb. 11, Tanya Tagaq will join the symphony in performing two new arrangements of 13 Inuit Throat Song Games and Cercle du Nord III, which were originally commissioned by the Kronos Quartet. As part of a SOCAN residency grant I will also be participating in the Arctic Climate Change Youth Forum 2010 at FortWhyte Alive in Winnipeg on February 5, 2010, and will visit the University of Manitoba to give a talk on my music.
