Great review by Karen Fricker in the Toronto Star of the world premiere of The Cave at the Luminato Festival. Hopefully this is just the beginning! Great piece by John Millard, Tomson Highway and Martha Ross, and a killer band – Rob Clutton, Germaine Liu, Matti Pullki and Karen Ng, with John and yours truly leading the way.
I can\’t imagine playing with a lovelier and more talented band in this show of Henry Purcell covers. Andrew Downing leads the band in a journey filled with music, lament, raucous dance and infamous bedlam.
feat: Anna Atkinson, Larry Beckwith, Andrew Downing, Drew Jurecka, John Millard, Patricia O\’Callaghan, Alex Samaras and Suba Sankaran.
This concert was sold out last year, so buy your tix in advance. Six really bright and shiny composers from across the world and encompassing many different styles have written new works for the ensemble. I always learn new stuff at this show – and have to learn new tricks!
I\’ll be leading gamUT with superstar soloist Krisztina Szabo in Hosokawa\’s The Raven during the University of Toronto\’s New Music Week. Directed by Paramita Nath.

I\’m looking forward to this show in the Kitch with the amazing Edwin Outwater and the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony. I\’ve appeared as a soloist in their Intersections series before, but this will be my first time playing with the full orchestra. It\’s a live scoring of the classic film Hands of Orlac by the really great composer Scott Good. Click here for all the details! » Read the rest of this entry «

It\’s more fun with movies and live orchestra. I\’ll be playing the synth parts for the TSO when they perform a live orchestra soundtrack screening of Robert Zemeckis\’ 1985 classic, Back to the Future. Don\’t miss these vintage performances by Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson and Crispin Glover. Oh – and that DeLorean. Fri Oct 16 and Sat Oct 17 at Roy Thompson Hall. » Read the rest of this entry «
