August 29th, 2008 - This Weekend at the Forest Festival!
Sorry for the late notice; I just found out about this myself!!If you're in Haliburton Forest this weekend (only 225 km from beautiful downtown Toronto!), prepare to be blown away by Forest Festival Brass! Alongside works by Handel, Shafer, and Irvine, you'll hear Ryan's 2000 composition "The New Peasant's Tale", a whirlwind of a neo-baroque invention for brass quintet. The Forest Festival Brass play Saturday and Sunday nights at 7:45.

Trumpetress Amy Horvey has announced some new tour dates in Italy, where she'll be presenting Apparatus Inconcinnus (possibly with Italian narration, if she can learn it in time!) as part of a concert tour with Phillipe Brunet and Edward Carroll.Here are the dates, which you can also find at amyhorvey.com:
|
Conservatorio “Gaetano Donizetti” | Bergamo | ||

There is another performance in Biella on the 16th, but Apparatus is not being played there, since that concert features women composers exclusively.
