Royal Conservatory of Music | ARC Ensemble: Hollywood Exiles
April 6 @ 2:00 pm - 4:30 pm
$40
The ARC Ensemble (Artists of The Royal Conservatory) performs music by Miklós Rózsa: the first modern performance of an early String Sextet, a group of songs performed by the soprano Elena Howard-Scott, and his exuberant Piano Quintet, op. 2. The program, titled Hollywood Exiles, includes Franz Waxman’s entertaining Variations on Auld Lang Syne.
Composed of the senior faculty of The Royal Conservatory’s Glenn Gould School, with special guests drawn from the organization’s most accomplished students and alumni, the three-time Grammy Award nominated ARC Ensemble is among Canada’s most distinguished cultural ambassadors. Its focus remains the research and recovery of works that were suppressed and marginalized under the 20th century’s repressive regimes. A number of previously unrecognized masterworks are now rejoining the repertoire as a result of the ARC Ensemble’s work.
