Frank Zappa: G-Spot Tornado 
Pierre Boulez: Notations IV-VII-II
Owen Pallett: Violin Concerto
Jonny Greenwood: 48 Responses to Polymorphia

Frank Zappa was a true visionary of his time. He bridged the music of rock, jazz, contemporary classical, and electronica, while redefining the boundaries between them. In honour of Zappa’s achievements we are proud to present several of his classic works and the artists of today who follow in his tradition.

Canadian artist Owen Pallett brings to us his new Violin Concerto, a work inspired by the solo violin music of Johann Sebastian Bach. As part of their farewell tour, we are thrilled to present the critically acclaimed Hilliard Ensemble in a special performance of Arvo Pärt’s Litany.
