SUMMARY:Island Chamber Winds presents: Still Bravely Singing
DESCRIPTION:Still Bravely Singing is a concert about birds\, but it’s really about using birds to look at humanity: to reflect on our history\, grapple with our present\, and imagine our future. \nBirds have long been used as symbols and metaphors\, especially for ideas like freedom and hope. Music and poetry can allow us to collectively engage with what’s happening around us\, and perhaps help us make better sense of it all. And there’s certainly a lot happening all over the world these days that is difficult to confront. \nWhile the music on this program is heavy at times\, it also includes moments of great joy\, optimism\, and even humour. We hope you’ll join us in exploring this beautiful and thought-provoking music. \nProgram:\nErin Lilliefors: Flight\nClare Howard: Above the Final Fields*\nStephanie Berg: We Are Not Birds*\nMaya Angelou: Caged Bird\, performed by Tenyjah McKenna\nOlivier Messiaen: Abime des Oiseaux\, performed by Le Lu\nCaroline Shaw/arr.\nDanielle Fisher: and the swallow\nIngrid Stölzel: Echo of the Past*\nClément Janequin/arr. Ben Litzcke: Le Chant des Oiseaux \n*Canadian premieres from the Women in Harmoniemusik commissioning consortium. We’ll be the first Canadian ensemble to perform these three pieces\, which were all written in the past year. \nFeaturing: \nBen Litzcke\, conductor\nLaura Andrew\, flute\nThomas Bauer\, flute/piccolo\nKristen Cooke\, oboe\nAndrew Montgomery\, oboe\nLe Lu\, clarinet\nRebecca Hissen\, clarinet/bass clarinet\nJean Poynter\, horn\nKaren Hough\, horn\nHeather Fisher\, bassoon\nJohn Myatt\, bassoon\nAllan Thorpe\, contrabassoon\nTenyjah Mckenna\, actor \nAll tickets are Pay-What-You-Can\, and we encourage you to choose an amount that fits your budget. https://www.zeffy.com/en-CA/ticketing/still-bravely-singing-birdsong-for-our-time \nThis concert is generously sponsored by Wildwood Health & Performance\, Long & McQuade Musical Instruments\, Thrifty Foods Hillside Mall\, and Fernwood Coffee. \nThe Baumann Centre is accessed by a flight of stairs or a lift and has gender-neutral accessible washrooms.
