LA ZOZOBRA (MUSIC FOR UNCERTAINTY): EMERGING CANADIAN CURATOR CONCERT

OAC Feature Concert

NUMUS looks forward to presenting this year’s Emerging Canadian Curator performance, featuring curator Veda Hingert-McDonald! 

Veda Hingert-McDonald (she/her) is a mixed-race Canadian violinist, composer, and activist based in Toronto, Canada. Drawn to story just as much as sound, Veda aims to balance personal connection with tradition in her performances of both new and standard repertoire. She has been involved in over 100 premieres, including Jessie Marino’s “To The Gates of Hell (Off Course of Course)” in Switzerland, and Che Buford’s “i said…” through the Gabriela Lena Frank Creative Academy of Music where she was a 2021-2022 Performer Fellow. Her recordings include Mable Bailey’s “Elegy” with pianist Indigo Farmer, Derek Charke’s “Tree Rings” with percussionist Gavin Kitchen, and Weathering Steel with Plein Air Sound Collective. Veda holds the positions of Principal Second Violin in Peterborough Symphony Orchestra, and Concertmaster of Whispering River Orchestra. She also performs regularly with Kingston Symphony, Esprit Orchestra, and Lucerne Festival Contemporary Orchestra.
