NUMUS 2005-2006 SERIES

7:30 pm, Friday, November 18, 2005, Perimeter Institute Atrium

City Life

collaboration with Canadian Chamber Ensemble and Perimeter Institute

A leading composer of our time, Steve Reich’s pulsating City Life is an evocative soundscape of New York City. Mixing sampling techniques with live instruments, the work shows-off Reich's virtuosity. Using new video footage by Waterloo’s Stefan Rose, digital artist Ian Birse will create live interactive visuals –a virtual nod to our own quotidian Big Apple influences. Included on this concert is the Canada Council’s Jules Léger prize-winning work Géométrie sentimentale by Ana Sokolovic as well as Gavin Bryar’s Mahler-inspired Les Fiançailles.

Ana Sokolovic (Canada) Géométrie sentimentale (1997) for chamber ensemble
Gavin Bryars (UK) Les Fiançailles (1983) for string quintet, piano and percussion
