Announcing the next concert for New Music at the Gallery, a new series from the Vancouver Art Gallery and the Canadian Music Centre in BC, curated by composer Jack Campbell.
This third concert in the series, on Friday, December 16 at 5pm, is a celebration of the work of Canadian women-identifying composers performed by Jane Hayes, one of BC’s greatest contemporary music interpreters. This program — inspired by Uninvited: Canadian Women Artists in the Modern Moment — celebrates both musical and human diversity within a cultural narrative of celebration and reflection.
The program features:
Vincula by Barbara Pentland
Glass Houses No. 2 by Ann Southam
White Lace by Linda Catlin Smith
(Canadian Premiere)
Les Envolées by Farangis Nurulla-Khoja
Alexina Louie: Fastforward
The New Music at the Gallery series draws on contemporary art themes, highlights a selection of twentieth century music, and celebrates collaboration, innovation, and social, cultural, and artistic progress.
It is with the utmost joy that we partner with the Canadian Music Centre in BC. They are an invaluable aspect of cultural life in our province, and critical to the dissemination, appreciation, and awareness surrounding the music of our province and people. It is a great honour to co-present this concert, and celebrate our shared ethics, goals, missions, and passions. Let us join arms across artistic fields and organizations and continuously strive toward a future in which we reflect upon the past, seize the present, and create a more hopeful and progressive future.
-Jack Campbell, Music Curator, VAG
