The Ensemble have been performing together for about six years. \u201cWe feel that it&#8217;s ready to go international.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The concert will feature an hour of music with lighting and stage direction \u2014 and no breaks for applause. The musicians will be moving around the space.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt incorporates electronic music by five Canadian composers,\u201d he says. They include composers Steven Webb, Tsz Long (Fish) Yu, Andrew Staniland, Laurie Radford and Myriam Boucher. Some of the music, he notes, will return from the 2024 festival.<\/p>\n<p>The composers were given a stipulation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow to recreate detailed, adventurous music, but this time not necessarily using Western notation,\u201d Current explains. It\u2019s about inclusion in a very broad sense. \u201cHalf the prople in Toronto come from places where Western notation was not what they grew up with,\u201d he points out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow do we make sublime music without using that notation?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It has resulted in a preparation process with some marked differences than the usual, including intense collaboration, and a great deal more rehearsal time. The concert will feature cutting edge technology that responds to the musicians and their performance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s very moving,\u201d he says, \u201cnot just the music, but overcoming linguistic and cultural barriers for the love of music. It&#8217;s important to show the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>NMC has already received two invitations to bring the event to Europe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it&#8217;s something that we really want to catch on,\u2019 Brian says, \u201cwhat happens in a city when different cultures work bother harmoniously.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the Budapest conference and international music events around the world, Current says he meets and talks with other classical and contemporary music organization directors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI tell my colleagues, the world is going to look like Toronto in 20 or 30 years. I think this is a beautiful way of thinking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe&#8217;re working with a stage director for the first time,\u201d Schimp adds, \u201cto create the right kind of atmosphere.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe&#8217;s a really talented director,\u201d Brian says. \u201cThe title of it is called Passages, and it&#8217;s based on rites of passages from many different cultures. It&#8217;s very universal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The music and performance will reflect those elements.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere&#8217;s a brand new piece by <strong>Steven Webb<\/strong>,\u201d Current notes. Webb will also serve as media director for the project, creating sound effects. \u201cFor this, we want to give autonomy to the performers, in that they feel creative license throughout.\u201d It diverges from the usual dictatorial model where composers and conductors run the show.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe&#8217;d like to take that hierarchy and make it more horizontal,\u201d Brian adds.<\/p>\n<p>The music is based on improvisation, so they\u2019ve created a visual map rather than a score.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe&#8217;ve created a map of what&#8217;s going to happen,\u201d he says. \u201cWe do have a score of a kind. It&#8217;s a new sort of creation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s inspired by the work of <strong>Sandeep Bhagwati<\/strong>. \u201cHe called this comprovisations,\u201d Current says. For rehearsals, that visual map is projected onto a screen.<\/p>\n<p>Other than Webb\u2019s new piece, the material for the concert comes from the 2024 festival. \u201cWe commissioned them for the last iteration of the festival. And those works were very collaborative. as well,\u201d Emily says. That includes the pieces by <strong>Tsz Long (Fish) Yu<\/strong>, <strong>Andrew Staniland<\/strong>, <strong>Laurie Radford<\/strong> and <strong>Myriam Boucher<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The requirements of the concert created a new process for the composers, as Current notes. \u201cHow do I create in collaboration with musicians without Western notation? What are potential other forms of communications between musicians?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not about eradicating conventional Western notation systems. \u201cWe&#8217;re not getting rid of it. It&#8217;s not an or situation \u2014 it&#8217;s an and,\u201d Brian explains. \u201cThese are amazing non-Western musicians and composers, and they love Bach and Chopin. What they want is Bach and Indigenous music,\u201d he says. \u201cBoth are possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Beethoven and Bach, after all, wrote for the world they lived in. They would expect contemporary composers to do the same.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cComposers are trying to share what it feels like to be alive in this time and place in history,\u201d Current says. \u201cToronto is special and interesting and unique right now.

Wouldn&#8217;t it be great to do this for a couple of dozen youth players in Toronto?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The event will feature the young musicians of the <strong>Canadian Youth Chinese Orchestra<\/strong>. \u201cThey are bringing a traditional Chinese orchestra,\u201d Current explains. \u201cWe are pairing them with steel pan players in the Caribbean tradition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Other student musicians from various Toronto music schools have been added to the group of participants.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe&#8217;re looking at about 30 or so teenagers who reflect the rather magnificent cultural diversity in Toronto,\u201d Brian says. They\u2019ll participate in improv games, creating sounds together, and other activities designed to be fun.<\/p>\n<p>Dmitri Tymoczko, a professor of composition and theory at Princeton University has created a kind of visual score that uses colours and shapes rather than conventional Western notation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey follow these shapes,\u201d Current says.
