60x60 Dance Toronto at Harbourfront
Thursday, October 16th, 2014 at 2:00 and 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.

Electronic Music Midwest
<http://www.voxnovus.com/NM421/img/14-10-16-EMM_poster.jpg>
Electronic Music Midwest Festival
October 16th, 2014 - October 18, 2004
About Electronic Music Midwest (EMM)
Electronic Music Midwest is dedicated to programming of a wide variety of
electroacoustic music and providing the highest quality performance of
electronic media. This annual festival consists of approximately nine short
concerts (about 1 hour in length) over the course of a weekend in Autumn.
Our goal is to bring together vibrant and interesting artists of all forms,
give them a vehicle for their expressions, and a place for them to share
ideas with others.
EMM is the result of a consortium formed in 2002 between Kansas City Kansas
Community College (KCKCC), Lewis University, and the University of Missouri
at Kansas City. Officially formed in 2002, this festival was founded by Mike
McFerron, Connie Mayfield, and Paul Rudy in 2000 when it was presented at
KCKCC under the name "Kansas City Electronic Music Festival." In 2001, the
festival continued at Lewis University under the title, "Electronic Music at
Lewis - 2001."
EMM has always featured an 8-speaker surround diffusion system under the
guidance of Ian Corbett. The core of the system are eight Mackie 1521
bi-amped speakers, an EAW/QSC subwoofer system, and a Soundcraft MH3, 32+4
Channel mixer (named "Emily"). Due to Ian's expertise, many visiting
composers comment that EMM is one of smoothest run festivals they have ever
attended.
Since its beginning, EMM has programmed over 500 new electroacoustic
compositions. Composers have traveled from around the world to graciously
share their music with audiences in the Midwest. However, EMM is about more
than just playing new music. We strive to create an environment conducive to
building community interaction. Most concerts are approximately one hour
long, and composers have plenty of time to "talk shop" with each other as
well as interact socially with students and audience members.

Craig Hultgren featured on Electronic Music Midwest Festival
October 16th, 2014 - October 18, 2004
Craig Hultgren For several decades, cellist Craig Hultgren has been a
fixture on the scenes for new music, the newly creative arts, and the
avant-garde. In recent years, he has performed solo concerts and chamber
music in Rome, New York, Boston, St. Louis, Pittsburgh, Miami, Atlanta,
Orlando, Denver, Nashville, Memphis and San Antonio. A recipient of two
Artist Fellowships from the Alabama State Council on the Arts, he was a
member for many years of Thatmyris, a contemporary chamber music ensemble in
Atlanta. A cellist in the Alabama Symphony, he also plays in Luna Nova, a
new music ensemble with a large repertoire of performances available as
podcast downloads on iTunes. Hultgren is featured in three solo CD
recordings including The Electro-Acoustic Cello Book on Living Artist
Recordings. For ten years, he produced the Hultgren Solo Cello Works
Biennial, an international competition that highlighted the best new
compositions for the instrument. He teaches at the University of Alabama at
Birmingham, the Alabama School of Fine Arts and Birmingham-Southern College
where he directed the BSC New Music Ensemble. He is a founding member and
President of the Birmingham Art Music Alliance and is on the Board of
Directors of the Metropolitan Youth Orchestras of Birmingham. Hultgren
recently completed a CAMA artist residency (Collaborating Artists
Manifesting Adventure) with the St. Louis New Music Circle where he
presented programs for three seasons. Recently, he performed a 15 Minutes of
Fame concert titled Occupy Cello in New York for the Composer's Voice
Concert Series. That program featured 15 one-minute solo compositions that
challenge the traditional boundaries of the instrument.

2014 AGBU Sayat Nova International
Composition Competition
<http://sayatnova2014eng.agbueurope.org/dev/index.php>
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.
