From week-long rains to Bixi bikes to pot café culture, residents of Vancouver are often made aware of parallels between our city and the Dutch capital, Amsterdam.  These connections are especially evident in Vancouver’s musical community.  Vansterdam will explore the musical kinship that exists between Vancouver and the Netherlands.

The program will feature brand new works from two of BC’s brightest and best composers, both greatly influenced by the music and culture of the Netherlands.  Dutch – born Vancouver composer Edward Top‘s new piece, Pots ‘n Pans Falling, an Acoustic Panel commission, will touch on themes of violence and lost innocence, while Ladner native and graduate of the Netherlands’ Koninklijk Conservatorium, Justin Christensen‘s new work, Critical Distance, draws its inspiration from the films of French New Wave director and enfant terrible Jean-Luc Godard.  Putting these two new works in relief, the ensemble will put their stamp on Workers Union, Louis Andriessen’s 1975 classic work for ‘any loud sounding group of instruments’.   Internationally celebrated Dutch composer Robin de Raaff will be represented by his gorgeous and popular work Un visage d’emprunt, as will Vancouver’s own enfant terrible John Korsrud, who will contribute a new arrangement of his own piece Two Tastes of the Hague, a tribute to his former teacher Louis Andriessen.

This concert also celebrates the release of Liquid States, Standing Wave’s third CD of commissioned contemporary chamber music featuring works by Jeffrey Ryan, Jocelyn Morlock, Rodney Sharman and Linda Bouchard.

Standing Wave is an ensemble of six exceptional musicians who perform contemporary music with virtuosity and style, cutting across musical landscapes with sharpness, wit and intelligence. The ensemble is equally comfortable performing complex chamber compositions, new music and works with electro-acoustics. Their adventurous programming and dynamic performances combine to capture listeners’ hearts and imaginations, placing Standing Wave at the forefront of Canada’s new music scene.

It’s no cinch to accurately reproduce this dizzying beauty, but Vancouver’s most accomplished contemporary chamber music group did just that, without even breaking a sweat.  Alex Varty, The Georgia Straight

Film in Music invites you on a cinematic ride inside the music. This project, led by cellist Peggy Lee, features eight improvisers from Vancouver’s rich and diverse creative music community. Each musician becomes a character within the framework of this musical suite, voicing their ideas through unaccompanied solos and in small groupings. While the composed sections of the music imply the arc of a story, they are also intended as launching pads for the musicians to make extended improvised statements, taking the listener on a journey that is never the same twice.

Since moving to Vancouver from Toronto in 1989, Peggy Lee has become a major voice in the city’s creative music community. Film in Music was originally conceived of in 2009. Current projects besides Film in Music include the Peggy Lee Band, Ron Samworth’s Talking Pictures, The Tony Wilson Sextet, Wayne Horvitz’ Gravitas Quartet, a duo with Robin Holcomb, the string quartet Microcosmos, a new collaboration with Mary Margaret O’Hara called Beautiful Tool, Dave Douglas’ Mountain Passages and the new music ensemble Standing Wave.

The Peggy Lee Band, has released five recordings of original music, the most recent being Invitation, released in October 2012 on the Drip Audio label.  This latest recording has garnered rave reviews both internationally and right here at home.

Imagine a modern-day Duke Ellington combo spiced up with shards of noise, and you’d be on the right track; it’s music that combines the timeless and the otherworldly in equal measure. – The Georgia Straight

…there is an overall sense of completeness that makes this a great album, rather than just an assemblage of good songs. – All About Jazz

This is beautiful music played by master musicians of a sort that is all too rare. - The Province

Vancouver Chinese Music Ensemble:

Come join us as we take our audiences through a thoughtful examination of immigration and the diaspora of Chinese music in Vancouver. Facilitating an understanding of Vancouver’s diverse identities and representing a cultural group with such presence in Vancouver, this performance will feature Canada’s very first Chinese instrumental music group formed in 1989. The Vancouver Chinese Music Ensemble will be performing a history of transformation and 33 years of Chinese music in Vancouver.

The nights’ repertoire will start with traditional pieces brought by immigration. The classical folk styles demand not only a mastery of technique, but also a high degree of sensitivity to evoke subtle sonorities and deep emotional expression. These songs often have poetic or philosophical associations, which will be addressed by our MC and renowned linguist Dr. Jan Walls.

Following will be a selection of rearranged works that have extracted elements from both eastern and western practices, bridging the frontiers to create new music. These traditional folk tunes continue a rich traditional heritage in one aspect, while embracing contemporary influences at the same time.

And finally, the ensemble will perform several contemporary Canadian compositions written for Chinese Instruments featuring two new Compositions by Jin Zhang, Hello Mr. Mount Seymour and Jasmine Flower. Supporting high levels of creativity in the community, the ensemble will showcase the development of cultural collaborations and global music today.

Alan Lau, guest speaker ♦ Ji Rong Huang, erhu ♦ Sarah Tan, guzheng

Our workshop features Chinese music scholar Alan Lau as guest speaker. He explores the nature of Chinese music by taking us on a journey from its past to present, and looks at where it is headed.  A Continuum of Chinese Music also includes a study of other musical styles in relation to Chinese music:  from classical Japanese gagaku to traditional Indonesian gamelan, minimalism to 12-tone music and orientalism to post modernity. The audience will be taught how to create their very own Chinese melodies based on the six tones of the Cantonese language.

This event will be a sneak peak at our fall concert performed by the Vancouver Chinese Music Ensemble. Transformation: Our Story will be a full concert performance demonstrating 33 years of Chinese music in Vancouver.

During the workshop, musicians from the Ensemble will be playing selections of music from different places and times discussed during the workshop.  The musicians will demonstrate new sounds and developed techniques through growth and performances. There will be a question and answer session at the end of the workshop that will allow the public to interact with the instruments and learn more about Chinese culture and music. This workshop is a great place for the culturally curious, the music lover, and life long learners of
all ages to spend an evening out with family and friends.

For these two concerts in tribute to Claude Ranger, we will re-unite the community of players who worked with the master drummer during his West coast tenure and present a regional celebration of Ranger’s music and the musicians he touched and inspired.

Ranger is a Canadian jazz legend whose intensity, virtuosity, and creativity rank him among the greats. He began his career in Montréal in the 1960’s and moved to Toronto in 1972 where he was a fixture on the scene for fifteen years – accompanying top Canadian and US musicians in the city’s jazz clubs. Claude moved to Vancouver, living here for a decade or more from about 1987 to early 2000 (at which time he disappeared). He worked as a sideman, collaborator, mentor and bandleader, inspiring the numerous musicians he played with and audiences who heard him during his Vancouver tenure.

This is a two-night tribute to this brilliant musician – seven sets of music – a different ensemble per set, by the alumni of his various projects – the small groups and the larger Jade Orchestra. The musicians who will be involved constitute the cream of the modern mainstream as well as the avant-garde, representing the full range of Ranger’s artistry. The programmed material will draw upon some of Claude’s original compositions, and will also feature original compositions, arrangements and improvisations by the featured musicians.

This event promises to be a heartfelt and thoughtful acknowledgement of Claude’s unique gift to the world of music.

FRIDAY:  Buff Allen, Kevin Elaschuk, Miles Foxx Hill, André Lachance, Bob Murphy, Clyde Reed, Campbell Ryga, Ron Samworth, Dave Say, Stan Taylor, Dylan van der Schyff

 SATURDAY:  Bernie Arai, Miles Black, Paul Blaney, Bill Clark, Phil Dwyer, Bruce Freedman, André Lachance, Clyde Reed, Stan Taylor, Brad Turner, Dylan van der Schyff, Tony Wilson, Rene Worst

NORTHERN VISIONS

standing wave ensemble

NEW DATE! Tuesday November 6, 2012, 8pm at the Cultch, 1895 Venables Street, Vancouver

$22.00 general / $17.00 students & seniors

Christie Reside, flute • A-K Coope, clarinet • Rebecca Whitling, violin

Peggy Lee, cello • Allen Stiles, piano • Vern Griffiths, percussion

The North, “that incredible tapestry of tundra and taiga country,” as Glenn Gould called it, holds a special fascination for many artists, composers, and musicians. On , November 6, 2012, join Standing Wave, Vancouver’s intrepid new music sextet, on a circumpolar expedition through a vast, echoing landscape of music inspired by the physical and metaphorical aspects of the North.

The centerpiece of Northern Visions will be a new work by the Yukon’s Daniel Janke, who found a visual template for a beautifully acrobatic piece in the aerial display provided by flocks of small indigenous northern birds against the backdrop of a bleak northern landscape.

The ensemble will also perform renowned Alaskan composer John Luther Adams’ The Light Within, called a “shimmering spectrum of massive, merging harmonies” (Thomas May, Seattle Weekly), Swedish composer Fabian Svensson’s relentless, combative Two Sides, as well as The Age of Wire and String, by Norwegian composer Rolf Wallin.  Standing Wave’s newest member, the spectacular flutist Christie Reside, will be featured in Kalais, by Icelandic composer Thorkell Sigurbjörnsson.  Standing Wave will also premiere a new arrangement by Marcus Goddard of Terry Riley’s minimalist classic Half Wolf Dances Mad in Moonlight.

Standing Wave is an ensemble of six exceptional musicians who perform contemporary music with virtuosity and style, cutting across musical landscapes with sharpness, wit and intelligence. The ensemble is equally comfortable performing complex chamber compositions, new music and works with electro-acoustics. Their adventurous programming and dynamic performances combine to capture listeners’ hearts and imaginations, placing Standing Wave at the forefront of Canada’s new music scene.

 “…fresh sounds that twist and surprise… Standing Wave is a vital contemporary voice with drop-dead ingenious musicians.”   Vancouver Sun
