The audience is invited into the heart of the experience with seating arranged in-the-round, dissolving the boundary between performer and observer to realize a unified musical conversation.<\/p>\n<p>Featuring piano, electronics, and double bass, the performance of the title work Poitu Varen, composed by Toronto-based composer Kalaisan Kalaichelvan, will examine how performance objects accumulate gestures and cognitive patterns imbued with layered meaning to create a space for transformation and profound dialogue across generations of music-making. We invite you to join us in building a cartography of collective memory, time, and place.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A discussion and audience Q&amp;A with composer and curator Kalaisan Kalaichelvan and musicians will follow the performance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This event is curated by Kalaisan Kalaichelvan, winner of the 2024\/25 Soundstreams New Voices Curator Mentorship Program for the Encounters Series.<\/p>\n<p>Soundstreams\u2019 TD Encounters is a free event series hosted in venues across the city.
