Prairie Sound BytesHi all,

Although this season is winding down, there are still a few more orchestra concerts coming up that feature Canadian composers and the last of the inaugral Calgary New Music Festival. It is also the time of year that all the prairie orchestras announce their upcoming seasons! We have done all the work for you and created a listing of all the concerts that contain Canadian music. Now all you have to do is mark it in your calendar. It looks like there are lots of great shows to get excited about!

Our expanded edition of Prairie Sounds will be coming out at the end of June -- if you have any ideas for articles or news about Canadian composer happenings on the Prairies please shoot me an email right away.

Finally, Calgarians, please get in touch with us at prairie@musiccentre.ca if you can volunteer to help with our casino September 17 or 18! The casino supplies the CMC with approximately $70,000 of funding for each cycle and we can’t make it happen without our wonderful volunteers!

And don’t forget to upload all your Canadian music events to the event calendar on musiccentre.ca.

Enjoy!Lindsey

Roger Admiral / Howard Bashaw celebrate new CD release with fundraiser at CMC BC

The CD release party for Roger Admiral and Howard Bashaw’s new Centrediscs disc, 15 for Piano was held on Wednesday, May 13 at Pyatt Hall, VSO School of Music. This concert

was a fundraising event presented by CMC BC. Both ‘15 for Piano’ and ‘Form Archimage’ rank among the relatively few major and

challenging Canadian works for contemporary piano. Showcasing performer Roger Admiral and composer Howard Bashaw, the pendulum of

extremes swings far and wide within the eclectic collection of movements included on this CD.Vivid, disparate inspirations and imaginings emerge in contrasting musical expressions that

range from incidental, technical strategies, to various programmatic reflections on conceptual, visual and mythological impressions, and to longer narratives based on more complex sub-structures of compounding patterns and processes. And while some movements take the performer to the volatile, precarious edges of endurance and roaring virtuosity, others counter quietly within atmospheric pastels of fleeting tranquility and shadowy murmurings.

Purchase CD: available here

Centrediscs call for proposals

The Canadian Music Centre, Prairie Region is accepting proposals on an ongoing basis for recording projects for Prairie Sounds Imprint on the Centrediscs label. Please check our

website for submission requirements. http://www.musiccentre.ca/cds.cfm?subsection=sub

Call for interest

Any Associate Composers who are interested in getting involved in Composer in the Classroom, or doing a Meet the Composer session, or leading a score reading/listening

session at the CMC office/Gallery Hall of the Nickle Museum please get in touch with the CMC Prairie Region at prairie@musiccentre.ca.

An open letter to the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra

In the newsletter of the Canadian Music Centre Prairie Region, a passage from your current season brochure is reproduced. The program of the concert scheduled for 29-30 May describes

the major offerings by Beethoven & Nielsen as “Masterworks,” which they no doubt are; it goes on to describe the other works, by Sibelius and Morawetz, as brief “palate cleansers.” The CMC justifies the inclusion by the fact that Morawetz was a well-known Canadian composer & the Centre’s job is to publicize Canadian music. I have protested that as a Canadian composer I feel insulted. If your music director takes Canadian music seriously enough to program a “brief” example, can your brochure not give it the same respect?-John Beckwith
