About

Other Worlds Revealed

Meredith Monk and her music once again take centre stage, this time working with local choirs Camerata Nova and Polycoro. Selections from Winnipeg-born composer and Academy Award-winner Mychael Danna’s Mass from the movie Lilies, originally performed by the Hilliard Ensemble, will be heard in concert version. New music by Andrew Balfour, of Cree descent, and Filipino Francisco Feliciano will bring forward and contrast their own local interconnectivity themes. Serbian-Canadian composer Ana Sokolović and Quebec composer/novelist Nicolas Gilbert also present recent work.
