Be Mused, A contemporary Classical Concert

Event Description

This is not music that will come up on a Spotify playlist! Contemporary Classical composers find their inspiration in diverse places, which lead them to create music that is thought provoking, often beautiful, perhaps unsettling, contemplative and often humourous. Be Mused celebrates this diversity with pieces such as Leila Lustig’s “Introductory Remarks”, in which a professor is completely honest with her class on the first day, Diane Berry’s “I’m Spinning’ ‘Round”, a take on modern life, and “Tidepools” that evoke an afternoon on our rocky coast. Janet Danielson’s “Resolutions” leaves you thinking about the multiple definitions of the word, while Sylvia Rickard's Song for the Earth is a moving tribute to our world.

The impetus for Augmented Trio Promotions to present this concert, was Leila Lustig’s piece “Glacier”, which she wrote for Diane Berry and Kathryn Le Gros. Also written for Be Mused is Diane Berry’s “Gargoyles”, to give these four musicians a chance to play together. Two intriguing subjects for musical works, fitting in nicely with the other works on the program, a chance for audiences to come and Be Mused.

You will hear music for solo, duets, trios and a quartet.
