Strategies Against Architecture

In partnership with Mount Royal Conservatory (MRC), we are thrilled to commence our inaugural residency! As part of our residency, we are excited to present a concert of new works that brings together our musicians and students of the MRC program. We will be featuring works that explore a vast range of sonic experiences that defy categorizations. From the electroacoustic sounds of Jared Miller’s Leviathan, to the spatialization effects of Merlijn Twaalhoven’s On Parole, and to the trance-inducing cacophony of Terry Riley’s classic work In C, this concert will take the audience on sonic journeys that transcends material existence. Also featured is the premiere of a new work by Calgary composer Michael van der Sloot, Denis Nassar’s engaging duo Caipora, and the Canadian masterpiece Strategies Against Architecture, Book 2 by Omar Daniel with guest performers Akiko Tominaga (piano), Kyle Eustace (percussion), and Chris Sies (percussion).
