Dieter Ammann\u2019s No templates, as its title suggests, embraces freedom and adapts wide-ranging idioms. Esprit brings Toronto its first performance of Uzbekistani composer Aziza Sadikova\u2019s music with Angelo di fuoco (Angel of Fire), reflecting her hope that the Angel will fight for justice amid global unrest. Aziza\u2019s Heat Efficiency, commissioned for a climate project, evokes mechanical sounds, pipes, and waves of heat. Ma\u2019s work reveals fresh explorations of technique, orchestration, and emotional impact. Vivier\u2019s iconic Orion, reflecting his \u201ceternal homecoming\u201d, conjures enigmatic experiences like \u201csitting still on an airplane\u2026 remaining in the same place yet going from Cairo to Kuala Lumpur.\u201d His advice for understanding: \u201cGo and find out for yourself!\u201d<\/p>\n
