A unique, multi-disciplined, and all-Canadian event! The members of the Ironwood Quartet are joined by Tai Chi Chuan players including prize-winner Jonathan Krehm, David Robert, and Evonne Tan in a combined ode to the Chinese martial art and to Canadian artistry. Premiere works by Evan Mitchell, Kevin Lau, and Alexina Louie, alongside a performance of Parting Wild Horse\u2019s Mane by one of Canada\u2019s most widely-known composers, R. Murray Schafer, frame Tai Chi Chuan demonstrations of forms and weapons in this mesmerizing performance.<\/p>\n
\u201cHaving performed this Schafer quartet as a Tai Chi Chuan player,\u201d Jonathan Krehm writes, \u201cI was inspired to commission the other music in this program. Combining the two arts that are the main inspirations in my life was a unique opportunity. I wanted to showcase the energy and elegance of the powerful martial art I have studied for 45 years with the drama it inspired in these composers. Accompanying these forms with art music written by Canadians is a multicultural exercise that is what I like best about what Canada has become: a place that welcomes and honours different cultures, a place where they thrive.\u201d<\/p>\n
