Canada premiere of “Dance, Song, and Celebration”

Dance, Song, and Celebration, the Foundation for Iberian Music’s 2012 commission from distinguished composer Benet Casablancas, will soon have its Canada premiere in Toronto.

Croatia’s Cantus Ensemble joins the Canadian Sinfonietta for a program dedicated to contemporary composers, which features Casablancas’ work alongside Michael Pepa (Canada), Berislav Šipuš (Croatia), and Mirela Ivičević (Croatia). (Visit the Sinfonietta’s site, linked above, for the full program.)

The concert will be held November 16 at 7 pm, at the Glen Gould Studio. (Those of you in Toronto may purchase tickets here.)

On a related note, we will soon have a video of the commission’s premiere (with the Perspectives Ensemble) at the Morgan Library  available, so stay tuned for that addition to our archive!
