A Woman for All Seasons

I’m please to share that my one of my songs for voice and piano, called Night, will be performed on Thursday, November 21 at the University of Toronto. Clarisse Tonigussi, U of T graduate and creator of the Canadian Women Composers Project, is curating a program of season-related songs by female Canadian composers to be performed by graduate students in the music program at U of T. Night contains autumn imagery and will be included in that section of the program.

Check out the details for the concert here.

Last time this piece was performed (by Clarisse herself) I was unable to make the concert so I’m please to be able to see it this time!

Art Song Premiere

A good friend of mine, Katy Harmer, will be premiering a piece of mine tonight at the Yellowknife Music Festival! It's very exciting for me - the piece was one I originally wrote in university for a specific purpose but due to various circumstances it was never performed. It's called There Will Come Soft Rains, the text from a poem by Sara Teasdale.

Katy will also be performing it at her recital in June, so perhaps I will be able to post a recording of it in the compositions section of my site in the near future. 

Exciting to tie up loose ends!
