Following a months-long exploration of creativity and play, Cathy and Chris have together curated this concert: ”a musical journey that includes what some might consider folk songs or popular songs, along with music found in surprising places.” "While deciding what pieces to do, the concept that making music is playing music kept coming up," said Chris. "The planning of this concert began with a game of cribbage. The act of play encouraged us to juxtapose works that may seem, at first, to be unusual pairings.” "The concert will begin with “musical cribbage," said Cathy. "This is a work that Chris and I have been developing over time, where game play and musical play can intersect." The program will also feature the world premiere of Cathy Fern Lewis’ Clear Love, which was written especially for this performance. A work by Bjork, a piano solo, a piece by John Oswald, and a surprise piano duet are also on the program. They will also perform Linda C. Smith’s setting of the poetry of three young students from Regent Park School of Music in Ontario. $10 at door.

A Place to Listen will be presenting "a gracious hospitality", a concert length work by Daniel Brandes (a place to listen co-founder). "A gracious hospitality" is an open work for any number of playing, listening, reading, singing, people....it is a work that is more of a practice than a piece of music. It is an invitation for players and listeners to enter (together) into an experience of deep, gentle listening. It will be a beautiful way to spend the longest night of the year. I am very excited to be performing in the ensemble for this concert.

For the 8th concert of our 4th season, APTL is presenting a curious program featuring solo works by two UVic Alumni. The concert will feature "Klavierstücke I-IV" for solo typewriter by David Foley, performed by Christopher Reiche and "In a golden room" for solo snare drum by Bob Hansler, performed by Alexei Paish.

We're playing the pre-club show tomorrow for Decade Edinburgh at Studio 24. GET DOWN!
