Composer's Voice 


Sunday, October 12th, 2014 at 1:00 PM


The Composer's Voice Concert Series is a collaboration between Vox Novus and
Jan Hus Church. Performances are short chamber concerts held at Jan Hus
Church and are an opportunity for contemporary composers to express their
aesthetic and personal voice. The October 12th afternoon concert will
provide a sample of the wide stylistic variety of today's composers. It
includes musical explorations of the inner lives of bees by Steven
Rosenhaus, and subatomic particles by David Wolfson; deconstruction of a
folk song by Kitty Brazelton; "scordatura" keyboard by Robinson McClellan; a
piece for flute and lawyer by Joshua Rosenblum; the indescribable sonorism
of Elizabeth Adams; and the world premiere of Fifteen Minutes of Fame: Joe
Drew, double bell trumpet. 

"it's on the edge of what's happening" -Brant Lyon, Great Weather for Media 

This concert will be guest curated by Composer's Voice regular David
Wolfson. Currently enrolled at the PhD program in composition at Rutgers
University, Wolfson's recent premieres include Alleluia, by Ekmeles at
Rutgers University, Escape/Delete/ Space/Enter/Home, at Messiah Lutheran
Church in Fairview, Ohio, Ruck, by the Dave Noland Sax Wartet at Marble
Collegiate Church in NYC, and Rapture, on the Pocket Opera series at Hunter
College. His works have been recorded by pianist Jenny Lin, pop singer Tamra
Hayden, soprano Karen Jolicoeur, and cellist Suzanne Mueller. 

Founded in 2001 by Robert Voisey, the Composer's Voice Concert Series has
had more than 100 concerts in New York City. Works are chosen from a wide
range of contemporary composers and performed by dedicated musicians devoted
to new music. The series has presented the works of hundreds of living
composers from around the world. Concerts are held two times a month in the
afternoon on the second and last Sundays of most months. The performances
are recorded and archived to further promote the new music, performers, and
composers. Audio, video, scores, and programs can be found on the Composer's
Voice website. www.ComposersVoice.com 

The Composer's Voice Concert Series, listed as "One of the premier showcases
for promising composers" by Time Out New York, will present works from a
unique set of composers: Steven Rosenhaus, Robinson McClellan, David
Wolfson, Elizabeth Adams, Kitty Brazelton, and Joshua Rosenblum, which
reflect the curator's aesthetic and experiences. These composers' works have
been performed around the world by such ensembles as the Dresden
Sinfonietta, Dave Noland Sax Quartet, String Noise, Albany Symphony, and New
York Philharmonic. 

The concert will feature performances by Joe Drew, Laura Leon, David
Wolfson, Sara Paar, Vita Wallace, Aaron Packard, Kristen McKeon, Jen Baker,
Kitty Brazelton, Hui Cox, Elizabeth Mann, and Philip Schatz. They have
performed around the world with the Rotterdam Philharmonic, New York
Philharmonic, Santa Fe Opera, Brooklyn Ballet, Liza Minnelli, The
Temptations, Asphalt Orchestra, TILT Brass, and more. They are champions of
contemporary music and frequent Composer's Voice concerts often.
Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame: Joe Drew, double bell trumpet will feature fifteen
one-minute works by fifteen composers, written specifically for Drew. The
purpose of Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame is to promote a great variety of
contemporary music to audiences hungry to hear what living composers are
writing today. Drew is a veteran of the new music and experimental concert
scenes and a founding director of Analog Arts and director of the Iron
Composer competition. He will perform one-minute works by composers.

60x60 Dance Toronto comes to Harbourfront


Sunday, October 16th, 2014 at 8:00 PM


Pairing 60 Toronto choreographers with each of 60 Canadian composers'
1-minute miniatures, this 1-hour performance spans the gamut of contemporary
electroacoustic music and contemporary, traditional, classical and hybrid
movement disciplines. 

60x60 Dance links 60 composition/ dance works by 60 different composer/
choreographer pairs, each 60 seconds long, and presents them continuously in
a one-hour performance. 

In this one-of-a-kind performance, each minute of the hour features a
different composer and choreographer. The 60x60 Dance collaboration has been
performed across 3 continents, and its Toronto debut in 2010 filled The
Music Gallery and won Paula Citron's Genre Fusion Award. This year, 60x60
Dance Toronto will be presented in the NextSteps Dance Series at the
Harbourfront Theatre, taking its place as an important cross-Canadian arts
collaboration, where the traditional contacts the contemporary to challenge,
inspire, and invigorate audiences and artists alike. Featuring all Canadian
composers of every genre (from classical to spoken word to noise and
everything in between) and choreographers from every imaginable movement
discipline (including mime, aerial dance, breakdancing, Kurdish, Flamenco,
Ballet, circus, stiltwalking, Highland, Kathak and many more), 60x60 Dance
Toronto will once again be directed and produced by the award-winning team
of Viv Moore and Tova Kardonne, and will include choreography by Toronto
dance innovators of long repute as well as emerging voices. With
concentrated, haiku-like musical and dance statements, 60x60 Dance creations
span the ridiculous and the sublime in one continuous hour of pure
inspiration.

2014 AGBU Sayat Nova International
Composition Competition 


The Armenian General Benevolent Union (AGBU) is deploying efforts to attract
the interest of young composers to classical music and the traditional
Armenian repertoire. If the encounter between classical musicians, of
written tradition, and traditional musicians, of oral tradition, is
sometimes difficult, it is all the more richer. Together they create the
musical heritage of tomorrow. 

Hence, the idea of the Sayat Nova composition competition is born, combining
modernism, tradition and Armenian inspiration. It aims to discover talented
young composers, help them financially, record their works, and diffuse
them. 

When it was first introduced in 2006, the Sayat Nova Composition Competition
proved to be a laboratory of creativity. Amidst festivities for AGBU's
centennial, a panel of expert judges reviewed an impressive range of
submissions. On December 9, 2006, it ultimately granted Artur Akshelyan with
the first prize. That night, Akshelyan's piece was brought to life by the
Armenian Diaspora Chamber Orchestra through a memorable performance in the
Salon Opera at the Intercontinental Hotel in Paris. 

The 2012 AGBU Sayat Nova International Composition Competition was a great
success as evidenced by the 22 candidates participating from around the
world. Two young composers were distinguished: Tomas Berreiro, Mexican, was
granted the 2nd Prize for his work The Death of the Nightingale and Ernest
Dulgaryan, Armenian, the 3rd prize for Whispers. In addition to the Sayat
Nova competition prize, Tomas Barreiro was awarded the Special Prize
"Carnegie Hall" by the jury. As such, his composition was interpreted during
the AGBU - NYSEC Annual Concert in December 2013 in the prestigious New York
concert hall. 

Contest participation conditions: 

The 2014 Sayat Nova competition candidates will have to compose for a
chamber ensemble consisting of 3 (three) instrumentalists (piano, cello and
duduk) and a woman's voice, mezzo- soprano register (spoken or sung). 

The duration of the piece must be within 7-10 minutes. 

The piece must include one quotation, in any form, from a text of Daniel
Varoujan in Armenian or translated into a Western language (i.e. English,
German, French, Italian, Spanish or Russian). 

The deadline for submission of works is no later than 28 November 2014.
