Pre-Concert Event
Featuring Evie Mark and Akinisie Sivuarapik, Inuit throat singers
Two highly evocative, musically graphic depictions focus our attention on Canada's northern frontier. Louie's Take the Dog Sled, combining Inuit throat singing with Western musical language, provides insight into Inuit life and its relationship to nature in the Arctic. Schafer's North/White is the composer's highly personal statement on how industrial forces are having an impact on Canada's Northern mythology. Ligeti's Atmosphères, made famous by the film 2001 - A Space Odyssey, draws us into this concert, which includes Takemitsu's Green, a dream evoking the music of Debussy, as well as the opulence of a mountain forest and garden.
