SUMMARY:Guitar Society of Toronto | Workshop Presentation – Sight Reading for the Guitar with Simon Farintosh
DESCRIPTION:Anecdotal evidence suggests that guitarists entering undergraduate music programs struggle with sight-reading more than instrumentalists of other disciplines. Researchers have found that 80% of middle and high school guitar students report finding reading music notation to be very difficult while only 20% of band and orchestra students expressed difficulties. Several factors may contribute to this\, including the influence of popular music\, guitar instruction culture\, complexity of the guitar fretboard\, and pattern recognition skills. This workshop will present several basic exercises involving rhythm\, visualization\, and position reading on the guitar. Participants can expect to read a series of exercises that are progressive in difficulty\, beginning with rhythm exercises on an open string. Elements such as pitch and harmony will be introduced one-by-one\, applying a spiral curriculum framework that is easy and satisfying to follow. \nSimon Farintosh is currently a student in the Doctorate of Musical Arts program at the University of Toronto.\nHere\, his research is centred around devising sight-reading curriculum for undergraduate students in guitar performance. He is currently running the guitar program at the University of Victoria.

SUMMARY:Soundstreams | Garden of Vanished Pleasures
DESCRIPTION:Garden of Vanished Pleasures is consummate opera\, an emotional journey inspired by the life and work of English filmmaker and queer rights activist Derek Jarman\, making its world premiere in the theatre. Conceived and devised by U.K./ Canadian director Tim Albery\, Garden of Vanished Pleasures blends the works of two brilliant composers: Cecilia Livingston and Donna McKevitt. Livingston writes deeply felt songs of love and loss\, and they chime perfectly with McKevitt’s heart-aching songs that use texts drawn from Jarman’s own journals. The texts cover a wide range of expressions\, from longing and loss to anger over society’s inequities — universal themes which continue to resonate for our time. A finalist for Opera America’s 2022 Award for Excellence in Digital Opera\, the illustrious cast includes stars from the world of opera: sopranos Mireille Asselin and Danika Lorèn\, and counter-tenor Daniel Cabena. \nARTISTS:\nTim Albery\, director\nHyejin Kwon\, music director & piano\nMireille Asselin\, soprano\nDanika Lorèn\, soprano\nAndrea Ludwig\, mezzo-soprano\nDaniel Cabena\, counter-tenor\nBrenna Hardy-Kavanagh\, viola\nAmahl Arulanandam\, cello
