\"Neverheardofit\"<\/p>\n

January starts off slow with contemporary music features, but by the end of the month we\u2019re rolling with a handful of exciting experiences. January\u2019s concert recommendations include orchestra concerts, intimate solo recitals, an amassing army of flutes, and Cellophone(?!).<\/p>\n

Spanning Tree: A New Work by Michael Oesterle<\/h3>\n

Saturday, 17 January at\u00a0Array Space. 8:00 p.m. $12-20\u00a0(pre show talk at 7:15)<\/p>\n

Despite the thrills associated with hearing a large orchestra or the warm communicative sound of a good string quartet, some of the most enriching musical experiences remain in the solo recital. Arraymusic\u2019s Spanning Tree: a New Work by Michael Oesterle pits percussionist David Schotzko<\/strong> against a monolithic work for solo percussion by widely performed Canadian composer Michael Oesterle<\/strong>. The combination of intimacy and monumentalism makes this event worth witnessing.<\/p>\n

Flute Street: Distinctively Canadian<\/h3>\n

Saturday, 31 January at\u00a0The Music Gallery. 8:00 p.m. $15-30<\/p>\n

There is a distinct lack of patriotism among Canadians, but Canadian new music ensembles remain passionate about performing music by Canadian composers \u2013\u00a0passionate to a fault, some might argue. The Music Gallery presents Flute Street: Distinctively Canadian, an all-Canadian programme of music for flute choir. The flute choir \u2013\u00a0piccolos, concert flutes, alto flutes, bass and contrabass flutes \u2013\u00a0will sound unearthly in the Music Gallery\u2019s historical St. George the Martyr Anglican Church. This concert is also worth checking out for the world premiere of Toronto composer Hiroki Tsurumoto\u2019s piece, Cursor 4. Tsuromoto\u2019s music- conceptual and obsessive compulsive \u2013 is exciting and instigative.<\/p>\n

Grit: TPC Ensemble + Cellophone<\/h3>\n

Saturday, 24 January at\u00a0Heliconian Hall 8:00 p.m. $15<\/p>\n

The Toy Piano Composers<\/strong> take the term \u201cfresh-faced\u201d to a whole new level: almost the entire collective is under 35, and the group works continuously to expose and promote emerging performers, groups and composers. Grit: TPC Ensemble + Cellophone pairs the Toy Piano Composers\u2019 resident ensemble with Cellophone, saxophonist Chelsea Shanoff<\/strong> and cellist Nadia Klein<\/strong>. The Toy Piano Composers\u2019 concerts are casual and accessible, bucking many new music stereotypes. Music by Daniel Brophy, Colin Labadie, Monica Pearce, Jose Guillermo Puello, Nancy Tam, Chris Thornborrow<\/strong>, and Bekah Simms<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
