COVER STORY
2003 SUMMER
MUSIC FESTIVALS
by Allan Pulker
There are two concert seasons: fall-winter-spring which
comes to an end this month, and summer, which starts in
June and takes place mostly in rural areas and small towns,
the one major exception being the Ottawa festival. The
following overview of the summer season is an attempt to
reveal the incredible variety, creativity and resourcefulness
that characterize this amazing summer season by bringing
into focus one person or theme related to each festival. It
was not possible to cover every festival, but w·e can be
sure there are equally fascinating stories and individuals
behind all of those not touched upon in this article.

A stone's throw from Queen's Park and Bloor ...
May 8, 2003: A curious crowd shows up at the Royal Conservatory of
Music for the inaugural perfonnance of ARC (Artists of the Royal
Conservatory). Before a note is played, Conservatory President Peter
Simon offers some prophetic words. "This is the first step in what we
believe will be a very successful ensemble," he announces. "We have
the finest artists of any music faculty in the world."
• . ARC, I soon learn, is an ensemble of variable.instrumentation,
made up of teachers at the Conservatory and.organized around
theme-based chamber concerts. This evening's concert is a mixed
program dedicated to lesser-known works by Richard Strauss. Pianist
Leslie Kinton and guest actor Colin Fox give a heartfelt perfonnance of
Enoch Arden- a fascinating but fortunately unique work for piano and
nqrrator . The .other major piece on the program, an eai;Jy pianQ q~et
(op. 13) is1played with alacrity by Erica Raum, YosefTamirJ Bryan .
Epperson and David Louie. Soprano Ann Monoyios' modest rendition of
seven early songs, accompanied by pianist Dianne Werner, is sandwiched
between the two larger works. ,
As I liste.n I am reminded of another chamber concert I
attended, at the University of Toronto's Faculty of Music back in
March. On that occasion, violinist Scott St. John announced a new
initiative to make the U ofT a major centre for chamber music, with
prestigious ensembles in residence, high-quality instruction, and lots of
perfonnances. Could this be the beginning of a "chamber music war"
between these two institutions, located just a stone's throw from one
another near Bloor and Queen's Park Crescent? At a reception following
the ARC concert, I hear more about the Conservatory's new
ensemble: already they've been engaged to play in New York City, with
more concerts scheduled for Toronto in December. And I can't help
noticing a detailed scale-model of the Conservatory's planned expansion
discreetly tucked in the corner of the room.
II May 14: I arrive at the offices of Kuwahara, Payne Mckenna, Blumberg
. Architects for a press conference officially announcing the Conservatory's
expansion. Now the balsa-wood model is front and centre, as
architects explain exactly what they are proposing to build. Foremost in
their plans is a 1,000-seat concert venue - much like woefully underused
Geprge Weston Recital Hall up Yonge Street - to be constructed behind
old McMaster Hall. As well, there will be 60 new studios and a multimedia
centre.
Peter Simon points out that the new facility is intended not j~st
for the Conservatory, but also for the city's musical organizations: he
mentions Tafelmusik and the CBC as possible users. He also explains
tl\.at about 60 percent of the $50 million required for the project has
already been pledged, and that he hopes tO break ground in about a year.
As the meeting comes to an end, I manage to ask Simon about other
plans in the Conservatory's future. "We're going to try to get degreegranting
status in the next two years," he says.
Degrees? Isn't the U of T's Faculty of Music in the business of
h;lhding out those pieces of paper? If the Conservatory can also award
degrees, one of the main reasons for post-secondary music students to
attend an institution like the U ofT - to obtain a degree, rather than a
diploma - may simply evaporate.
• 1 , , •. , ,
It's tempting to view the ongoing competition between the U ofT and the
Conservatory for students, programs, facilities and ofcourse money as
an example of poor cultural planning - maybe even a little un-Canadian.
But even though these two institutions do sometimes seem to dance on
each other's feet, we shouldn't forget that competition can be a good
thing. If we let a hundred chamber musicians bloom and a hundred music
schools contend, might we not all be better off for it in the long run?
Time may tell.

QUODLIBET
by Allan Pulker
In June the musical torrent slows
down a little before the out of town
, summer season gets under way.
There are still plenty of interesting
concerts however. H!~re are a few
"highlights" to help get you going.
Royal Conservatory of Music
World Music Festival
The RCM has annourx:ed that it will be
offering instruction in a wide variety of
"world music" disciplines starting in
September. The rationale for this
radical development is, according to
Jeff Melanson, Dean of the RCM's
Community School, that "with world
music now an integral part of our
musical vocabulary, we want ... our
students to be ... well-rounded
musicians ... [with] a thorough overview
of different types of music .... " To
J.auix:h the new initiative, the RCM will
present four June concerts of music
from different cultures.

to me. Get out and hear him before

Aram Khachaturian
June 6 marks the lOOth anniversary
of the birth of Armenian composer,
Aram Khachaturian. The Komitas
Musical Association will celebrate
the occasion on June 28 with a concert
at Ryerson Theatre, with the
Canadiana Symphony Orchestra and
Komitas Choir conducted by David
Varjabed and soloists, violinist Haik
Davtian, soprano Y ana Ivanilova and
tenor Sarkis Koundalcjian. Just six
days after the composer's birth date
the TSO will also feature
Khachaturian's work.
L TM's Miss Annie
Just a few days later, on June 21, an
authentic Jamaican musical, Miss
Annie, will be performed twice by
the Little Theatre Movement
Pantomime Company of Jamaica at
the Main Stage Theatre of the
Toronto Centre for the Arts. The
story is based on the legendary life
of the infamous Annie Palmer, who
lived a colourful life of luxury as the
mistress of a great house and the wife
of several husbands, few if any of
whom survived the experience!
"Pantomime" in the Caribbean is not
mime as we know it, but rather a
mixture of pageantry, folklore,
legends and current issues, presented
in song, dance, acting and music. The
music in this production was
composed and directed by Grub
Cooper of the Fabulous Five Band
and lboo Cooper of the Third World
Band.

Saturday presentation of The Goldberg
Variations (July 5), featuring harpsichordist
David Louie; and a Sunday
morning (July 6) "Brunch with Bach"
with Lichti, Trifunovich, Jarvis, James
Mason, and Margaret Gay.
It's not all Bach either. July 5, actor
Colin Fox helps brings alive the aesthetic
rivalry between 17th a:ntury
France and Italy in a captivating narrative
written by Patrick Jordan - "The
Muses' Struggle". Before the concert,
at 2:15, Patrick Jordan presents the
"French vs. Italian" lecture. The concert
itSelf includes the prelude from the
piece that started it all, Monteverdi's
Oifeo as well as an excerpt from Luigi
Rossi's Oifeo, Corelli'sla Folia Variations,
Lully's Trios pour le Goucher
du Roy and Couperin's friendly commentary
on the French-Italian rivalry,
L 'Apothiose de Lul.ly. The Muses'
struggle that day reaches a climax with
two dramatic cantatas - Orphie by
Clerambault and Oifeo by Pergolesi.
It promises to be an intensely interesting
festival-worth the drive to Ayr.

The choral community of Toronto continues
to grow and diversify. Since I
began writing this column roughly five
years ago, the volume of activity and
array of corx:ert-giving has burgeoned.
So it is that we stand at the end of another
season and the month of June is
jam-packed with events celebrating the
history of music in Toronto, gay pride,
the preparation for tours and the Queen
of England (well - some things never
change!).
The Shevchenko Ensemble of singers,
manlolin players and darx:ers offer their
annual concert on the afternoon of June
1. The concert showcases students and
professionals side-by-side in a colourful,
mixed media celebration of music
anddarice.
The Riverdale Youth Singers host a
special event the following evening.
Mark Bell's choir continues to present
fascinating programs with a distinctly
multi-rultural flavour. Their corx:ert on
June 2 is titled "A World of Music: A
Cavalcade of Music from Around the
World". The centrepiece will be the
preilliere of a new work called "By
Ooud and By Store" by Allen Cole and
Martin Julien for children's choir and
Alexander Veprinsky
gamelan orchestra. The choir is joined
by Sekar Sunu Laras, Toronto's c~dren's
gamelan ensemble and special
guest, the Indonesian dance master
Wiryawan Padmonojati.
OnJune4, the Toronto Choral Society
offers a look back at the Toronto of
yesteryear in a program titled "Toronto:
A Musical Mosaic". With help
from the Fort York Regency Dancers
the choir will look at the history of
the physical land we now occupy, from ·
prehistoric times to the year of Confederation,
1867. A member of the

JOHN
OSWALD
MAY2003
by Paul Steenhuisen
Stan Brakhage got me going
on that though- not Salvador
Dali.
~TEENHUISEN: HowcJidyouget
into free improvisation, and what do
you like about it?
OSWALD: I think improvising
comes naturally out of an interest in
c:ommunication between people, particularly
conversation. What's intriguing
about the dance and music
improvisation I do is that it's more
polyphonic than your average verbal
conversation, which is usually taking
turns-call and response. If you real-
ly start contemplating the ideas that
are both part of and behind most con-
versations, it can seem much more
polyphonic than it is in actuality. In
both the improvised dance and music
that I do they don't have an initial
score to incite or control some sort of
activity. Usually, it requires more
It may seem obvious that music by a
composer whose primary work is
with recorded media will be found on
CD. In the case of John Oswald
however, actually obtaining that CD
can sometimes be another story riddl~
with dull corporate legal ~-
glings and artless proprietary issues.

ours pressznghisfingerontohis ""-'
'eyeball. Without electridty, how
wouklyou create?
OSWALD: I have this interesting
conundrum in that everything I'm doing
professionally these days gets
routed through computers - to create
.sound, visual, and audio media, and
to create scores for other musicians
to p~ay. I balance this in my life by
havmg what would nonnally be
called "hobbies", doing improvised
music in which I play an acoustic instrument,
the saxophone, and a similar
activity in dance called Contact
improvisation. I've been doing these
two things for well over a quarter of
a century now. If all the computers
broke down, I'd probably spend some
more time playing the saxophone,
and some more time dancing. But I
think I'd find great appeal - as I do
sometimes - in pressing my fingers
on my eyeballs when they're closed.
OSWALD: A moment for me is
approximately a thirtieth of a second.
Conveniently, it's also what they use
as a frame rate in video. When you
~e things faster than that, dependmg
on whether it's coming in your
eyes or ears, things blend together in
fii?nY ways. When you're dealing
with articulation_ in music, it can
break down to a hundredth of a second.
So, let's say that a moment is
between a thirtieth of a second and a
hundredth of a second. Anything beyond
that has to do with prediction and
retrospection, things that are definitely
involved in improvising too. I have
a poo~ memory, so I perhaps toil
more m moments than I would
choose to if I had a different set of
intellectual equipment.
STEENHUISEN: In what context
do you play your free improvisations?

group back in the early seventies.
The most recent thing I've played

can't put your finger on the details
of it. Keeping my foot in
this improvised activity, ongoing,
flavours everything else I
do. It also gives me the opportunity
just to play, which I find
an invaluable part of composing.
STEENHUISEN: Man Ray

to reproduce is humi:Jn. "VWzere are
you situated in that, artisticnlly?

nition of 'plunderplwnics'?
OSWALD: The sense of dynamics.
·I mean both temporal and spectra1
dynamics in improvisatory performance
and the sense of the dynamics
of momentum in improvisatory
dance. Contact has a lot to do
with people leaning on each other and
wrestling, and I've to some extent
intemalized that dynamic which influences
the more sedentary activity of
composing. When I'm working on
music, it's jwdly ever in real time,
it's usually the equivalent of drawing
or painting. I spend a long time making
something that can then be apparent
in a short time. I don;t, as a rule,
use any of the kinds of gestures that I
use in real time improvised music in
creating a composed piece of music.
ldo, however, recognize those dynamics
again in listening to them,
which is an imi:}ortant part of my
composing: the direct empirical reflection
of what I'm doing. So, I rec-
OSWALD: I should find the one I
just wrote (shuffles through pa-
pers) ... "'Plunderphonies' is a term
I've coined to cover the counter-

years. This is from speaking to people
who are of a generation a year or
two younger than me, and have what
seems to me a very narrow sense of
history. A lot of people have absolutely
no sense of anything that's happened
outside their lifetime, and
sometimes within the range of their
lifetime. I mentioned Bing Crosby's
l-WUte Otristmas. I use that one specifically
because for close to 50 years
it was the most popular recording, in
terms of sales and airplay, but there's
a whole generation of people who
seem not to recognize it now. That
requirement we talked aboutbefore,
of recognizing the source in the transformation,
in some cases just isn't
there. I didn't expect it would disappear
so quickly from generation to
generation. Perhaps there is a life
span in these pieces, although I think
the appeal might be with a narrower
portion of the population than I've always
thought was possible. I've always
thought that these are potentially
popular pieces in themselves, partly
because of their close proximity to
pieces that have proven to be popular.
STEENHUISEN: As the source
material fades, is it, in fact, your
technique that emerges, or what you
do with materials?
OSWALD: It might be possible because
I think there's lots of interesting
things that go on, not independent of
the source, but as a result of the
source material, that end up probably
being interesting on their own.
STEENHUISEN: Ultimately,
we 're highlighting the fact that they 're
layered. Over time, I think it's inevitable
with any music, but in some
»cys it's more pronounced with
yours, how some layers subside and
others emerge more clearly.
OSWALD: I think with my 'plunderphonics'
oeuvre in particular, it's
less likely to be identified with an
era. There's something less timely
about most of the pieces I've made. ·
They definitely have some degree of
the era of the source because more
often than not we can place a lot of
these very popular examples whether
Beethoven or the Beatles to a given
period down to the decade. But since
I don't think I've been directly influential
to any particular musical styles,
and given that in some cases you
can't tell it's manipulated recordings,
some of them exist out of time. I
think particularly with this other category

Quite surprisingly, given the way the

OSWALD: Very definitely the primary
intent of listening, say, in my
improvised music activity, is to engender
conversation. I have never
really cared too much about how listeners
may hear an improvisatory
perfonnance, and I don't really care
if there are listeners or not - maybe
I've got some kind of allegiance with

it's a direct feedback circuit that gives

quite wonderfully. I think I've been
able to be quite amorphous in this production
role. If you think of me in the
traditional record producer's role -
the person that cultivates aild brings

whether it's a particular cl:iaracter or
conglomerate of characters or style -
in that respect I think I manage to be
somewhat transparent. At first, I
was dismayed when people would
say, "Your music always has quirky
rhythms." I've got so many different
rhythmic characters I've incorporated
into these pieC:es that I'm disappointed
to be categorized that way.
So, the short answer to the question of
where am I in these things is - I'm

On May 21 the nominations for the
Dora Mavor Moore Awards were
announced. In the past opera, when
included, has found itself in the "Outstanding
Musical" division. This
year opera has a division all to itself.
In the category "Outstanding Production
of an Opera" the nominees
are: "Facing South", Tapestry New
Opera works; "Jenufa", Canadian
Opera Company; "Medee", Opera
Atelier; "Oedipus Rex/Symphony of
Psalms", COC; and "The Queen Of
Spades", COC.
In the category. "Outstanding Performance
in an Opera" the nominees
are: Eva Urbanova, "Jenufa";
Michael Schade, "Oedipus Rex I
Symphony Of Psalms"; Ewa Podles,
"Oedipus Rex/Symphony , Of
Psalms"; Judith Forst, "The Queen
Of Spades"; Xiu Wei Sun, "Madama
Butterfly". Winners will be announced
June 23 at the Princess of
Wales Theatre.
While the nominees above are all
worthy candidates, the list raises a
number of questions. The "General
Theatre" division has separate nom-,
inees for both Best Musical and Best
Play, and separate nomirultions for
Best Director, Best Male Performance
and Best Female Performance
in each of these "General Theatre"
categories. There are also nominations
for Best Feature Role; Best Set,
Costumes and Lighting, combining
the two. Shouldn't all these categories
also be recognized in Opera?

SPOTLIGHT
by Sarah B. Hood
Summer
Season
Takes Off'
HIGJl-FLYING HIT
He's one of Hollywood's biggest stars
these days, but back in 1986 Tom
Cruise was only beginning to show
his full potential when he follow~
up 1983 's' popular teen frolic Ris,lcy
Business with his role as Lt. Pete
"Maverick" Mitchell in the fullthrottle
1986 air force drama Top
Gun. The Girogio Moroder theme
song "Take My Breath Away" and
a cast that included Kelly McGillis,
Val Kilmer, Tim Robbins and a
young Meg Ryan probably didn't hurt
Top Gun's success. However, it was
about as far away from the musical
comedy idiom as they come.
Nonetheless, in 2002 Denis Mc­
Grath and Scott White's Top Gun!
Tfte Musical became the most successful
box office draw of the Toronto
Fringe, beating out even the
record-holding The Drowsy Chaperone.
The satirical show, which imagines
one ~riter's struggle to stage
a Top Gun musical adaptation against
many, many odds, went on to score
a hit at Houston's Theater Lab. Now
it's returning to Toronto for a full run
from June 4 to 22 at Factory Theatre
with a cast that includes Drew
Carnwath, Dmitry Chepovetsky,
David Collins, Steven Gallagher,
Alison bawrence, Racheal McCaig
and Mary Francis Moore .
HERE'S TO
THE LADY WHO SINGS
We get a rare chance to see an unquestionably
accomplished Broadway
star when Elaine Stritch turns
up at ~e Elgin Theatre from Juhe 23
to 28 with heF autobiographical onewoman
show Elaine Stritch at liberty.
Her last appearance here was
in 1994, as Parthy Hawks in the Liv­
Ent revival of Show Boat that opened
the (then) North York Centre for the
Performing Arts. Over the course
of her show, Stritch reminisces
about such colleagues as Ethel Merman
(whom she understudied in Call
Me Madam) and Noel Coward (who
wrote Sail Away for her). She also
performs some of the great Coward
material, like "Why Do the Wrong
People Tr:avel?", " I've Been to a
Marvelous Party" and "If Love
Were All", alongside memorable

Here" and her landmark song, the

. from Sondheim's 1970 hit Company.
ASTRO-NUTS
It's just about time to take off for the
country and take in a little summer
theatre. Already, June offers _at least
a dozen musicals, ranging _from
_Broadway chestnuts to original Canadian
plays. Among the latter is The
Perilous Pirate's Daughter, a musical
romp of redcoats and rebels on
Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence.
Written by Ann Chislett and David
' Archibald, it's based on the career
of real-life Upper Canadian pirate
Bill Johnston and his daughter Kate.
It runs at the Blyth Festival
(www: blythfestival'.com) right
through the summer, from June 16
toAugust9.

Tip of the hat to TDSB's ·
teachers in the trenches
A TDSB teacher (I'll withhold her
namre because I didn't have time to
clear publishing this with h!'!r)' writes -
- "I am a secondary school music
teacher in the TDSB ... Yes, there is
a work to rule campaign in lace at
the elementary and secondary levels
this spring. Yes, it seems that there is
always some kind of trouble brewing
in the education system these days
(since about 1995 in fact). However,
I would like to make it perfectly
clear that extra-curricular activities
hiive not been affected by the
current campaign. My schQOI just
finished presenting a three night _run
of a musical, a performance at
Massey Hall, a Junior Spring
Concert, Senior Spring Concert, a
performance at the George Weston,
a music banquet, ... still to come a
music festival at Canada's
Wonderland. I know several others
doing the same. No one is more sick
and tired of all the political nonsense
(government, board or union) than
my colleagues and I. But we do a
pretty fine job with our hands
constantly tied behind our back. Let's
hear the positive about an already
niuch maligned profession.

Festival of the Sound
Announces Gala Opening Season
Charles W. Stockey Centre·for the Performing Arts
July 18 to August 10, 2003 ·
The first music heard in the Charles W. Stockey 'centre for the
Performing Arts in Parry Sound, Ontario will be sung by the Elmer
··1seler Singers and choir members from the Parry Sound community.
Eleanor Daley, a native of Parry Sound, has been commissioned to
write this new choral work. The first words, A song is born in Georgian
Bay, are appropriate for a moment that represents the. realization of
dreams and the ho_pe and potential present at every bitth.
The Festival of.the Sound started in 1979 with three concerts in the
Parry Sound High School gymnasium, presented by Anton Kuerti and
Kristine Bogyo. They were soon joined in their vision of a Classical
music festival held annually on the shores of Georgian Bay by the first
of hundreds of volunteers who have worked to make the dream .a
reality. Under the artistic directorship of Canadian clarinetist James
Campbell since 1985, the Festival has grown to a 3!/2-week season
with over 60 events, recognized as a destination for serious music
lovers from far and wide.
With the opening of the Charles W. Stockey Centre for the
Performing Arts, the Festivl!I of the Sound proudly steps onto the
world stage with a performance facility worthy of the organization it
has grown to be. Natural stone and wood is showcased in the Charles
W. Stockey Festival Performance Hall, an intimate 480-seat hall, with
the warmth and feel of a Georgian Bay cottage. Architect Keith Loffler
has worked with Artec, the renowned New York acoustical firm, to
achieve an ideal environment for the performance of chamber music.
Lo,cated right on the shores of Georgian Bay with an expansive view
of its famous sunsets from all levels of the lobby, the centre also
provides an ideal setting for weddings or corporate events. In true
Canatlian fashion, the building will also house the Bobby Orr Hall of
Fame in tribute to Parry Sound's most recognized native son.

in Song
July 11-August 3
Performances by classical English superstar Emma Kirkby
and Canada's leading countertenor Daniel Taylor mark two
highlights of this' summer's Elora Festival in the scenic Village
of Elora, Ontario. The-Festival enters its 24th season under
the direction of Noel Edison. The foundation of the Festival.'s
programming centers on the human voice, one of the most
expressive and direct forms of musical communication. The
voice speaks directly to the heart in a unique and powerful
way.
The 2003 Elora Festival presents some of the most
inspiring music and performers ever to be heard at the
Festi'val. The concerts take place over four weekends. The
classical vocal programmes boast the finest voices, including
the international superstar, soprano Emma Kirkby who
performs with countertenor Daniel Taylor, baritone Russell
Braun, and soprano Karina Gauvin. The Festival is equally
excited to· welcome such names as Carol Weisman, Jimmy
Rankin and the dynamic young pianist David Jalbert.
Opening Night includes the rarely heard Magnijicat by
J.S. Bach's gifted son Carl Philipp Emanuel and Josef Haydn's
well-loved Nelson Mass .. Additional performances include
Benjamin Britten's Saint Nicolas, and the music of other
composers such as Faure, Bruckner, Brahms, Mendelssohn,
and Martinu. Hear the music of Benjamin Butterfield, Amici
Duo, Art of Time Ensemble, Oan Chameroy and Jackie
Richardson, Maza Meze, The Emperor Quartet, The
Maplewood Artists Collective, and members of the
Penderecki Quartet: Included as always this year is the wellloved
and renowned Elora Festival Singers. Hailed as one of
the world's finest cham,~er choirs, the hallmark of the
Singers' style is their rich, warm sound and clarity of texture,
as well as their ability to perform an amazing range of
repertoire.
Visit us on-line at www.elorafestival.com to view our
complete programme, or call 519-846-0331 to order a

l give this festival top marks for
the way it celebrates its
connection with the two main
attractions of the area in which
it is located - grape growing/
wine making and the Shaw
Festival. Four of the festival's
venues are wineries and several
concerts are built around the
theme of wine and music. The
connection with the Shaw
Festival is made by three
concerts at which some of
George Bernard Shaw's music
reviews are read aloud and the
music reviewed in them is
performed- a brilliant piece of
programming in my opinion.

MUSKOKA LAKES MUSIC
FESTIVAL
As I looked at the web site for
the Huntsville Festival a,nd the
Muskoka Lakes Festival I was ·
struck by the emphasis placed
on the relationship of these
festivals to the communities in
which they are located. In
addition to the cultural
enrichment it provides for area
residents, cottagers and visitors
alike, the Festival plays an
important role in the rural
economy and vitality of
Muskoka. For example, this was
taken from the Muskoka Lakes
Music Festival's web site:
"It has a very positive·impaCt
on quality oflife in Muskoka.
Many people have been
introduced to world~class
classical music and other art
forms that would otherwise not
have been through local
availability and low ticket prices.
We have provided music for
many art shows and for other
local fundraising groups, in the
area of arts and heritage
specifically anc\ other not-forprofit
groups. As the Festival
grows it is attracting ~udiences
from all over the province and
beyond, significantly
increasing tourism and adding
im{11easurably to the local
economy."
If this is true. of a single
summer music festival, think of
the imp act of the 300+ concerts
a mun th occurring in ·Toronto -
is anyone listening?

some regret had to stop
performing this year in their
namesake, "The Gym" and have
understandably adopted St.
James' Church as their
performance venu.e.
The big news from the
Festival of the Sound this year,
of course, is the opening of The
Charles W. Stockey Festival
Performance Hall, described in
the Festival's brochure as "an
intimate 480-seat hall, with the
warmth and feel of a Georgian
Bay cottage ... with a view of
Georgian Bay sunsets .... at

S'Jmphnnlf _Jn ~/w Barn
Where Culture Meets Agriculture
By David Molina and
Emmanuel Vukovich
July 23 to August 3
Music now complements drama and the visual arts in
Canada's festival city, Stratford, Ontario. With 47 concerts
and events, Stratford Summer Music presents its third season
with special programming to welcome Canadian tenor Ben
Heppner in the premiere of his new solo show and to celebrate
the 5Q 1 h anniversary of Glenn Gould's first appearance in the
city. From its five performance sites downtown and within
the beautiful parks system comes a variety of vocal,
instrumental, classical, celtic, and even Broadway-based
programs.
Opening night along the waterfront offers the music of
J.S.Bach played by the Festival Bells and a gigantic fireworks
display to the music of composer Berthold Carriere. Featured
artists include Canada's Primadonna Mary Lou Fallis, Bach
organist Ullrich Bohme from St. Thomas Churchin Leipzig,
Germany, the music drama Glenn Gould.Meets Bach with
Christopher Dawes and Peter Tiefenbach, Norway's Oslo
String Quartet, baritone James Westman and bass Robert
Gleadow in recitals, pianists Ian Parker and Ilya Poletaev,
National Youth Orchestra of Canada, plus company members
of the Stratford Shakespearean Festival in after-theatre
cabarets at the famous Church Restaurant. At noon from the
floating stage along the Avon River enjoy free concerts by
the Cape Breton Symphony and Ballybogs.
Premieres include The Piano Man '.s Daughter, a song cycle
by Laura Burton based on Timothy Findley's novel, sung by
James Westman in the Maureen Forrester Young Artists series
which opens the festival. Complete information on the
Stratford Summer Music Organ Academy with Ullrich Bohme
also available by phone. Many events free. Tickets: $20, $25

At the heart of Symphony in the Barn
is an organic/biodynamic farm in
Durham, Ontario. In the summer
Glencolton Farms transforms into
a diverse cultural centre where talented, young, adult artists from
around the world, farm and perform in the barn.
Attending a concert at the Symphony Barn is not like attending
any other concert hall. The Symphony Barn is a real working
barn, where the cows are milked just prior to show time. Where
animal life and nature abound, the Barn rests peacefully, warm
and adorned with flowers, accompanied by birds chirping in the
rafters, and the aroma of baking bread. In its setting the Barn
offers a unique experience of country life combined with worldclass
performance. From gentle breezes, the soft warm lustre of
the evening sun, or even the,northern lights, t.he Symphony Barn
is a concert hall in a league of its own.
This summer, Symphony in the Barn is entering a new era. An
orchestra of highly trained Canadian and International
professionals between the ages of 20-30, will perform chamber
music concerts, orchestral concerts and more. Not only will the
orchestra be responsible for the music, the musicians will also be
sustaining their own garden, baking, cooking, cleaning, and
preparing the Barn. At Symphony in the Barn, the nature of the
farm will be incorporated with the orchestra, thus providing
musicians with an experience to cultivate the soil, and captivate
the spirit.
In its eighth season, Symphony in the Barn is thriving.
Attracting international attention and leadership from Maestro
Ernst Dunshirn of the Vienna State Opera, and creating sensational
Gourmet Operas-the ultimate experience in food and music,
with world-renowned chef Michael Stadtlander, Symphony in
the Barn is establishing Durham, Ontario as a Canadian cultural
centre.
The theme for this year's festival is music and nature. While
the rhythms ofnature and the changing of the seasons drive life
on the farm, they have also inspired and motivated artist and
composers throughout the ages. Through our performances we
hope to show the interdependent relationship between 'cultivating
the soil and captivating the spirit.' (Please consult concert dates
and programmes on the inside back cover of this magazine.)

concert and then drove home
afterwards. It is a longish drive
but certainly possible.
MUSIC AT PORT MILFORD
Music at Port Milford, like
the Southern Ontario Chamber
Music Institute, is a summer
string program for intermediate
to advanced students by day
and a concert series by night.
Concerts take place in an old
church with a balcony, sort of
like Trinity-St. Paul's, large
enough to accommodate even
more people than usually
attend. If you were to arrange
overnight accommodation it is
not a long way from the
Westben barn, so these two
festivals might combine well
into a single trip.
QUEBEC
If you can venture beyond
Ontario this summer, why not
get a real change of pace and
language and go to Quebec.
The Festival de Lanaudiere,
north of Montreal, is unlike
any of the Ontario festivals in
that it has a large outdoor
amphitheatre with a
permanent outdoor stage
large enough to accommodate
a symphony orchestra. A
number of its concerts are by
the Montreal Symphony
Orchestra and the Quebec
Symphony Orchestra, plus
there are performances by
many fine performers and
, ensembles, both local and
from abroad. North of the City
of Quebec you will find
another music school and
summer festival combined at
Demaine Forget, and in the
Eastern Townships the Orford
Arts Centre Summer Music
Festival. There are unexpected
Toronto connections with
these last two festivals:
violist, Douglas McNabney is
the artistic director of
Demaine Forget while Agnes
Grossman is the artistic
director of the Orford Arts
Centre.
The Toronto International
Chamber Music Festival
Toronto Centre for the Arts
(George Weston Recital Hall, and Studio Theatre)
July 3 to 6, 2003 416 763-5066
The highlight of the festival is the appearance of the
Penderecki String Quartet, one of the world's most
acclaimed chamber ensembles.
Also featured in this international line-up of talent are the
exciting Piano Duo Kutrowatz from Austria, violinists Eva
Gruesser (Germany) and Rohan Smith (Australia),
vocalists Lenard Whiting, Nina Scott-Stoddart, Edward
Franko, plus Ensemble TrypTych in music ranging from
Brahms and Chausson to Quenten Doolittle and Andrew
Ager. The Festival will also include the performance of the
winning composition from the Festival's Young
Composers' Competition.
J
One of the only classical music celebrations to be held in
Toronto during the summer months, the Festival provides
a real feast of delights for instrumental chamber music
loyers who also enjoy vocal fT\USic.
TrypTych Music Dire_ctor William Shookhoff believes the
quality of the performers will establish the Festival as an
annual event that will attract the same kind of enthusiastic
audiences enjoyed by chamber music festivals in other
cities such as Ottawa. "The Penderecki String Quartet is a
real coup for the start of the Festival" said Shookhoff.
"We expect many people will find this and other events at
the Festival a truly memorable experience."
Tickets are available by calling Ticketmaster at 416-872-
1111, at anyTicketmaster outlet or are available at the
Centre's box office.

The Passion of Angels is a remarkable
double concerto featuring harpists
Nora Bumanis and Julia Shaw.
This paean to "longing, desire and
ecstasy" makes the comparison with
Tchaikovsky explicit with a quotation
from his "Pathetique" symphony.
There are exceptional splashes of
colour in Mozetlch's writing for full
orchestra that are reminiscent of the
American exuberance of John Adams'
works. Mario Bernardi provides
a highly sympathetic interpreta.tion

Seven Last Words of Christ
Ottawa Chamber Music Society
Andrew Dawes, Julian Armour et al
CMS Classics CMS-560201
As a string quartet? Apparently so,
and this is just one of four different
settings that also include orchestral,
choral, and solo piano. Haydn produced
ihis version right after his original
orchestral score, commissioned
for a Lenten service in the Cathedral
of Cadiz.
Benefiting from the fine acoustics
of Ottawa's Christ Church Cathedral
this recording is well balanced and
remarkably clean. Artistically, it
offers a rare glimpse of how Haydn,
"father" of the string quartet form,
used the ensemble in service of a
sacred program.
The players assembled for this
project by the Ottawa Chamber
Music Society faced two major hurdles:
sustaining a 64-minute work in
which all the movements except the
last one .are slow, and projecting an
interpretation that reaches beyond the
sombre boundaries of the Seven Last
Words.
The quartet: Andrew Dawes,
Manuela Milani, Guylaine Lemaire
and Julian Armour offer a performance
of satisfying depth and agility.
They allow Haydn's masterful quartet
writing to guide them through chame
leon-1 i ke harmonic shadings,
rhythmic pulses and pizzicato passages
that frequently tempt one to forget
the Lenten theme. Perhaps
McLuhan had a point about the "me-,
dium" being the "message"?
CMS Classics is a new Canadian
label with just two recordings to date.
Their first CD, Schubert's C Major
Quintet, was a critical success. This
disc offers the promise of a superb
catalogue. Chamber music lovers
will want more - and soon.

and deported to theTerezin concentration
camp. Joining a remarkable
group of feHowcprisoners - artists,
writers and musicians - he wrote his
best-known work, the expressionist
opera Der Kaiser von Atlantis, as
well as the four pieces on this disc.
The harrowing circumstances of
the creation and survival of these
works makes this disc especially
poignant, since Ullmann was murdered
two days after being transported
to Auschwitz on Oct. 16, 1944.
Although he was a student of
Schoenberg, Ullmann rejected the
strictures of a rigorously atonal harmonic
language. Directly communicative,
his style can be humorously'
ironic or delicately poetic. But in the
light of his tragic situation it is difficult
to resist looking for suggestions
of impending catastrophe in these
works. In the exquisite Largo of the
String Quartet No. 3, a passage
marked "senza espressione" reveals
the searing emotional devastation of
the composer's horrific situation. In
the Piano Sonata No. 7, with its heartbreaking
dedication to Ullmann's
three children, an ebullient march
veers off into a menacing parody. His
quotations - a Czech hymn, a Hebrew
folk song, a Lutheran chorale - become
cries for freedom.
The elegant Kocian Quartet gives
a heartfelt and eloquent performance
of Ullmann' s only surviving quartet.

(Recorded live in the Philharmonie,
September 7-10, 2002. 125 minutes,
stereo or 5: I surround sound. Includes
a second disc, a DVD-A of
the Mahler.)
This programme chosen by Rattle for
his opening concerts as Berlin Music
Director is quite logical. The
· Mahler comes from the very start'
of the last century, 190 I , and the
Ades from the close, 1997. Think of
all that went on between those two
works.
Asyla, for those who have forgotten
their Latin, is the plural of asylum.
Is this the asylum of a Bedlam
or a sanctuary? Take your pick. I
hear the former leading to the latter.
The enigmatic work is in five movements
tr"nsparently scored for large
orchestra with six percussionists who
have lots of unconventional objects
to strike.
Rattle's Mahler is inspired and intense
without the overt hand wringing
of, say, a Leonard Bernstein. The
famous Adagietto is not lingered
over, proceeding with fragile delica-·
cy for only nine and a half minutes
leading, without pause, into the final
movement.
As for the personnel of the Philharmonic,
this is a younger orchestra
than the Berlin of recent decades.
This is as good as it gets: here is
the music, ending with Mahler's last
optimistic outburst, the images of the
orchestra and their evident enthusiasm
and confidence in their new conductor,
and a grand sense of occasion.
The dynamic sound is exemplary.
If Karajan had left the production
of his videos entirely to others
they might be this good.
This is thrilling music making,

On this recent recording, conductor
David Robertson demonstrates why
I hoped he would have received more
serious consideration' for a North
American conducting post .. . i.e. the
TSO. From his extended tenure as
leader of one of the world's best new
music chamber orchestras (the Ensemble
InterCohtemporain), and conducting
traditional symphony orchestras
worldwide, his knowledge is
broad and current. As a former
dancer, his skill and energy on the
podium is clearly evident, as is some
of the influence of this CD's featured
composer, Pierre Boulez.
With neaf-impeccable intonation,
Robertson leads the Orchestre National
de Lyon through Boulez's Rituel
in memoriamMadema (1974-75),
five selections from Notations ( 1945,
revised and orchestrated 1980-98),
and Figures-Doubles-Prismes ( 1963-
68). Rituel, for orchestra in 8 groups
is actually' individualized chamber
music, 25 minutes of relentless, serialized
unpulsed percussion ostinati
hyphenating a smoothly orchestrated,
seemingly isorhythmic melody.
Reminiscent ofBerio's surface lines,
they shift between flourish, sustain,
flourish, sustain, and filigree. The
more diverse Notations (the orchestrarproliferation
of an earlier piano
piece) maintains the linear gestural
foundation, with less restraint. Like
Rituel, Figures ... works with spatial
distrihution of orchestral instruments,
displacing them into subgroups
underscoring structural principles
of the work. Between themelodic
motifs and infrequent timepoint
rhythms, Figures is in part the
synthesis of the preceding two
works.
While the Boulez CD confirms his
clear aesthetic perspective and
serves to further document his
work, Pascal Dusapin's CD of 3
concerti (one each for trombone,
flute, and cello) partially thwarts
some compositional concerns gathered
from listening to his previous
compositions. He's extremely prolific,
oft-performed, and obviously
skilled, yet his music has seemed
hurriedly written, or - more generously
- automatic. At the same time,
it's often orchestrationally overcoiffed,
with attention to surface detail
perhaps better spent on structural
considerations. It's colourful,
clearly and confidently pitch-oriented,
yet frequently subject to peculiar,
oddly or awkwardly placed musical
gestures. Whiie these qualities may
be the residual style effects from his
teacher-consultants Xenakis and
Donatoni, others have become elements
ofhis gradually distinguishing
personal voice.
Watt (1994), for trombone and orchestra,
is wonderfully performed by
Canadian virtuoso Alain Trudel, and
strikes me as Dusapin's best piece
to date. Inspired by the Beckett novel
of the same name, Watt is colourful
and fluid, yet unpredictable, containing
subsections of significant
beauty, particularly the.duet with piccolo.
The other two works (Galim
and Celo) also succeed, almost well
enough to make one forget the inflated
grandeur of the liner notes.

My college class recently held its
40th i anniversary reunion, and .an
amazingly large number of those fine
people turned up, well and nealthy,
and looking pretty much the way I
remembered them. A grand time
was had by all.
Well, Jim Hall Live! turned up almost
28 years after we last saw it,
and I've been having a grand time
with it, too. That I was in the audience
when it was recorded probably

adds to the enthusiasm I feel for this
great music, spun by the influential
Jim Hall on guitar, Don Thompson
on bass and drummer Terry Clarke.
They knew something speciai was
happening during the engagement at
Toronto's "Bourbon Street" jazz
club, so Thompson brought in his
four-track recorder to document the
music. John Snyder, an American
producer who heard the tapes, had
them released on A&M's Horizon
jazz label. Given the quality of the
music, and how well it was received
at the time, I find it astonishing that
it has only just now made it onto CD.
Working with standard material
like Angel Eyes, The Way You Look
Tonight and 'Round Midnight, the trio
tap-dances on a tightrope, creating
jazz of the highest lev~l: a three-way
conversation between masters that
never leaves the listener behind.
I know Don Thompson has at least
three hours more of unissued performances,
maybe even better than
what's here. Perhaps another call
should be made to John Snyder .. .

Tintner Memorial Edition Volume 1
Mw.art: Symphonies No. 31, 35 & 40
Symphony Nova Scotia;
Georg Tintner
Naxos 8.557233
For over a year now, rumours have
been rife of Naxos' impending reissue
of the back catalogue of the late Georg
Tintner's recorded legacy. And here
is Volume I, packed with 78 minutes
ofW. A. Mozart's symphonic output.
The three symphonies, familiar staples
of the repertoire all, were much favoured
by the Halifax audience.
Symphony Nova Scotia rose from
the ashes of the much larger regional
orchestra which preceded it. One statement
issued in those formative days
concerned the low number of employed
musicians, fewer than forty
players. Those statements pointed to
the small orchestra becoming a specialized
eighteenth-century ensemble.
This CD bears out the wisdom of
those decisions, with an intimate quality
of sound and wonderfully disciplined
musicianship. However, this
is nearly a sixty-piece orchestra as
represented here. All players are listed
in the well-designed liner notes.
In keeping with historical correctness,
the three works are in chronological
order. Unfortunately the "Paris"
symphony ends in the same key
as the opening of the "Haffner" symphony
that follows it. It might have
been interesting to find the G minor
No. 40 placed between the two earlier
works. The Rebecca Cohn Auditorium
adds subtle warmth to Mark
Warren and Wayne Stay's live recording.
The wonderfully silent audience
reveals itself only to applaud
Tintner and the orchestra. An excellent
CD.

INDIE LIST:
Blue & Green
Peter Smith Quartet
(Independent) PMS 10103
www.indiepool.com/petersmithquartet
In the '20s and '30s,jazz was a functional
music played for dancers, and
in the m.id- '40s the BeBoppers
cranked up the excitement level with
occasional Afro-Cuban influences,
and turned it more into something
for listeners. Coltrane and Ornette
then took it to the far edges of the
spectrum.
By the mid-'60s the gentling of
jazz by Bossa Nova musicians from
Brazil brought melody back, but
there was a softening of the seriousness
jazz had fought for, and too often
the real message was hidden.
The new function? Background music
for hip restaurants. That's not to
suggest that bossa/latinjazz should
be talked over, it's just that itis, too
often.
Peter Smith's Quartet deserves
to be listened to, but Blue & Green
may well turn up bistros around the
world, given its pleasantness. But
there's real jazz playing hidden in
things like Monk's Bye-Ya, Sonny
Rollins' Oleo (refurbished as Oleo),
and the title selection.
The leader is heard on flute, and
soprano and tenor saxes, with Kevin
Laliberte on acoustic guitar. The
bassist is Drew Birston, and Marcus
Chonsky is the percussionist,
mostly playing things-you-hit-witha-hand.
And therein lies a bit of a
drawback: I feel a drum set would
add a 11).0re aggressive jazz feel, the
kind of thing that would take this
beyond the restaurant.

Balade imaginaire
Guy Donis Trio
Banyan BYN-2-002 (SRI)
Was it the appeal of raspberry beer,
chocolate or lace that beckoned
N.A.T.O. and the European Union
to choose Belgium as their home
base? Then, who would want to
leave a country whose capital is
graced with motorcycle cops wearing
black leather to venture to a land
of inclement weather? Guy Donis,
with a banjo on his knee, came to
the true north strong and free, where,
like his home country, two official
languages there be.
Balade imaginaire is a calling card
not only for Mr. Donis' accomplished
playing which easily compares to
Bela Fleck's, but also a showcase for
the remarkable Martin Roy (whose
double bass can be as sensual as Gary
Peacock's) and Francis Cavan on
accordion, violinandmandolin. Cavan
and Roy delight on a terse track
called Twin Mandolins, in which they
almost take flight. The "morning after"
is recounted musically on an accordion
with brain-reeling realismrelieved
a few tracks later by an acoustic
rendition of drinking coffee (supplying
a much needed grip), to ready us
for Latine, Mr. Cavan's composition,
so continental in feel that one is shocked
by what comes next: Le reel de deux
lisa, Donis' homage to the traditional
music of Quebec.
The impact of the trio is somewhat
obscured by the album's self-proclaimed
aimlessness. Its impressions
and moods, though pleasant, remind
me of a tasty truffle that could nonetheless
stand a stiff shot of whiskey
at its centre.

tunes, familiar things like Joyspring

singing with, among others, the jazz
vocal quartet, the Beehive Singers,
as well as through her work on CBC

with the technique she also brings a

there are also a few original and notso-familiar
tunes. Aren't I Cute?,

make this an eclectic collection of
tunes with much warmth and personality.

Terry Riley - In C
SMCQ; Walter Boudreau
ATMA ACD2 2251
Terry Riley's In C (1964) precedes
the Trudeau era, Gay Pride, and fax
machines. It is a semaphore of the
minimalist movement, so well known
that it now receives attention in music
history textbooks. Based on 53
scraps of melody in the primary key
ofC Major, scored for any number
of instruments and fairly improvisatory
with each fragment repeated ad
libitum until the individual perform-
56
ers choose to move on to the next, it
is a work of zing and contradiction.
It can be both aggravating and compelling;
fun and meditative; popsy and
serious. Hey, it's from California.'
Perhaps fitting for a piece so contradictory,
here are two performances
as different as night and day -
and I like both, and would not wish
to choose between them. '
Bang on a Can's 11-person New
York rendering shimmers. It has a
combination of vitality and leisure to
it. It unfolds and just keeps twinkling
along, like a sonic kaleidoscope, in
less•is-more style.
Walter Boudreau's competing
version from a live Montreal concert
is outrageous and virile. He
starts off by appending to the front a
sort of Indian raga, while the audience
is still chattering and rustling.
The music slowly gathers force,
abetted by vocal grunts, chants, and
deep-toned "oo's." A chorus and
French-Canadian singer/poet Raoul
Duguay add a minor-keyed song noodle
up top, and sung text with imperceptible
words.
The whole thing !).urns along like a
dark, pulsing orgy of voices and
instruments - an ensemble three
times the size of Bang on a Can's -
repetitive, shouted, and with a rock
beat much of the time, until it finally
dies away. Riley himself in the liner
notes tellingly brands this
performance of his work a "fantasia".
And an audience erupts in
cheers 35 minutes later. Me, too.
Shorter electroacoustic selections by
Canadians Donald Steven and
Michel-Georges Bregent round out
the ATMA release.
Both recordings are fme, and both

push the klezmer boundaries to new
heights. Bassist Andrew Downing's

Shabbes Goyim/Ghosts is a catchy
and humorous medley based on Bob's
"childhood as a non-Jew in a Jewish
neighbourhood." Vocalist Dave Wall
goes the traditional route with his
Peacock And Turkey but it is his
moving setting of the poem When
Eternity Weeps by Avram Sutskever
that keeps getting better and better
with each listening. The roving melody
and shifting rhythms of Daniel
Barnes' Voyage of the Grandfathers
allows the band to really groove and
sets the stage for superb improvisations.
Leader/trumpeter David Buchbinder's
offerings find him delving
into numerous styles, but it is the final
track with its full horn section,
Shekhina: Cut from the Same Cloth
(with lyrics by Dave Wall, Kyo
Maclear and Roula Said), that really
makes one want to get up and keep
dancin'. As to be expected, all the
playing is top-notch with superstar
special guest Jane Bunnett and other
guest musicians filling in the roster.
Two different takes on traditional
Jewish music, two different sweet
success stories . Collected Stories
and Sweet Return each mark departures.
What the future holds is really
exciting. Listen and enjoy!
