Land’s End ensemble – Workers Students Union

Land’s End Ensemble and students of Mount Royal University’s Conservatory Program perform exciting works that push the boundaries of today’s performance practices and sonic experiences.

After their successful concert last season, Land’s End brings you more exciting works that push the boundaries of today’s performance practices and sonic experiences. Featured works include Steve Reich’s classic work “Clapping Music,” Frank Ticheli’s minimalist-inspired “In C Dorian,” and Mary Kouyoumdjian’s “Moerae” inspired by the Greek mythology of the three fates.

Enjoy two world premieres: “A Species of Wonder,” a new work for mixed ensemble by acclaimed JUNO Award-winning composer Allan Gordon Bell, and “Dragonfly,” an exhilarating trio by Michael van der Sloot. The program also features Four “Paintings by Leestemaker,” a richly textured piano sextet by Vincent Ho.
The concert will conclude with Louis Andriessen’s “Workers Union.” Written for “any loud-sounding group of instruments,” this politically charged work unites all performers on stage for an unforgettable conclusion.

The concert begins at 7:30 p.m., with a pre-concert chat at 6:45 p.m.
