. . . . . . On Sunday, October 20th, soprano Marnie Setka-Mooney, will join Aerie Trio, (Diane Berry, flute, Maria Wang, cello and Kathryn Le Gros, piano) in Be Mused, a concert of contemporary classical music by four local woman composers. These talented musicians will present works by Sylvia Rickard, Janet Danielson, Leila Lustig and Diane Berry, with all four composers in attendance, and in the beautiful, relaxed setting of The Wardroom at CFB Esquimalt. The works range from a piece for solo flute and electronics (Diane Berry’s “…and we dreamed of stars”) through duets and trios, with the world premiere of “Gargoyles” which Diane Berry a quartet involving all four musicians.
.
Each of these women find their inspiration in diverse places, which lead them to create music that is thought provoking, beautiful, perhaps unsettling, contemplative and often humourous. Be Mused celebrates this diversity with pieces such as Leila Lustig’s “Introductory Remarks”, in which a professor is completely honest with her class on the first day, Diane Berry’s “I’m Spinning’ ‘Round”, a take on modern life, and “Tidepools” that evoke an afternoon on our rocky coast. Janet Danielson’s “Resolutions” leaves you thinking about the multiple definitions of the word, and Sylvia Rickard’s “Language Police” hilariously describes one side of a French/English encounter.
.
The impetus for Augmented Trio Promotions to present this concert was Leila Lustig’s piece “Glacier”, which she wrote for Diane Berry and Kathryn Le Gros, and which will be premiered that afternoon. An intriguing subject for a musical work, fitting in nicely with the other works on the program. This is a wonderful chance for audiences to come and Be Mused.
