On Saturday, March 20, 2010 at the Harry Jerome Arena in North Vancouver, experience the 2010 edition of Hard Rubber Orchestra’s new music ice show.  New choreography, large visual projections of film, images and lighting effects along with plenty of on ice action will be set to original music.  Gathered here will be an all-star cast of heroes from on the ice and behind the scenes.  Figure skating choreographer and coach Joanne McLeod will be working her magic with some of Canada’s finest figure skaters, hockey lover Kevin Sylvester of national Canadian radio fame will be your host and librettist.  The Hard Rubber Orchestra will pump out music ranging from new music to pop, jazz and world; premieres of commissioned pieces from some of Vancouver’s finest composers.

In 2000, the Hard Rubber New Music Society presented The Ice Age – the World’s First New Music Ice Show at the Kerrisdale Arena. This mega multi-media production was an opera on ice, a new music concert on ice and a tribute to the great cornerstones of Canadian culture: hockey, figure skating and winter sport.  In 2010, Ice Age is back and it’s bigger and better than ever.

Hard Rubber New Music has presented concerts of original music by some of Canada’s most exciting composers, performed by some of Vancouver’s finest musicians. Under the artistic direction of composer, conductor, musician John Korsrud, previous large-scale works include Alcan Award-winning multi-media extravaganza, Enter/Exit; White Hot Core, a collaboration with Kokoro Dance; and The Elvis Cantata, which took an irreverent look at pop icons. The all-star Hard Rubber Orchestra features the finest of Vancouver’s jazz community and performs music that is influenced by jazz, pop, world, contemporary classical, and improvised music. Since its debut in 1990 the Orchestra has toured to Europe and across Canada including concerts in Amsterdam and at FIMAV in Quebec.
