Additional Information
Vancouver Turning Point Ensemble (TPE) celebrates its 20th anniversary in Montréal with RASAS by Montreal composer Sandeep Bhagwati, and two pieces by Farangis Nurulla-Khoja and Jocelyn Morlock. This concert is presented by the SMCQ as part of its Homage series, dedicated this year to Sandeep Bhagwati.
SMCQ describes RAZAS as a “great epic modular composition” . According to Bhagwati, “the Rasas consist of a system for classifying the emotions that form the basic components of all artistic manifestations. More precisely , 64 sections are progressing within a matrix which can be arranged in different combinations. Before the concert, the performers choose a specific combination and, through their arrangement created in real time, offer a unique version of the piece. And what’s more, works by excellent composers Jocelyn Morlock and Farangis Nurulla-Khoja, and one by Owen Underhill, also artistic director and conductor of TPE. Turning Point Ensemble is a large chamber ensemble that performs music “in innovative contexts across genres and intersecting with multiple art forms”. The ensemble concentrates on modern an contemporary music, from the early 20th century to the present day. Owen Underhill, answers PAN M 360 questions before crossing Canada.
THIS CONCERT WILL BE PERFORMED ON TUESDAY MAY 28 AT SALLE PIERRE-MERCURE. TICKETS AND INFOS HERE.
