Finally, on <strong>December</strong> 12th, Tim<br />
Brady's Bradyworks ensemble offers<br />
us a concert of Irish, British and<br />
Canadian work, including a new<br />
composition by Halifax-based Jerome<br />
Blais. This concert is presented<br />
as part of the Music Gallery's<br />
Composer NOW: On Tour series.<br />
The Bradyworks ensemble was originally<br />
created to perform Brady's<br />
compositions. which brings to the<br />
forefront this concept of Canadian<br />
compositional diversity by mixing<br />
together contemporary chamber<br />
music, jazz, rock and electroacoustics.<br />
The group ·s unique sound combines<br />
electric guitar and saxophone<br />
with traditional chamber music forces<br />
and live electronics, drawing on<br />
diverse performance traditions. For<br />

Looking ahead ro the start of the<br />
New Year, many concerts seem to<br />
address the issue raised in this column<br />
in November. (I enquired why<br />
the Toronto new music community<br />
was not rellecting a broader array<br />
of non-European contemporary music.)<br />
Either the question was timely<br />
or premature, as in January we will<br />
have the chance to S(!e and hear combinations<br />
of new music eicher originating<br />
from or inspired by Africa.<br />
China, and Japan.<br />
On January 9th, at the Glenn<br />
Gould Studio, New Music Conce.rts<br />
presents Canadian premieres of work<br />
by Japanese composers Toshio<br />
Hosokawa and Kazuhiko Suzuki,'<br />
with guest sho vircuoso Mayumi<br />
Miyata. This concert will also offer<br />
the audience the chance to hear traditional<br />
Japanese Gagaku selections<br />
for solo sho, a tTaditional Japanese<br />
wood flute. For more details, visit<br />

Starting on January 13th, NU<br />
MUS, che Penderecki String Quartet.<br />
Wilfrid Laurier University and<br />
the Pentaedre Wind Quintet join<br />
forces to presem a Chinese New<br />
Music Fescival. The spark of inspiration<br />
for this collaboration originated<br />
with Chinese Canadian composer<br />
Alice Ho. ·who put Jeremy Bell<br />
(in his dual role as Artistic Director<br />
ofNUMUS and violinist in the Penderecki<br />
Quartet) in touch with the<br />
Hong Kong Composers Guild. This<br />
contact precipitated a variety of activity,<br />
including a NU MUS commission<br />
from Chinese composer Law<br />
Wing-fai. and a three week tour of<br />
China by the Penderecki Quartet.<br />
The overall results have culminated<br />
in this Festival. which {>tarts on January<br />
!3th at Wilfrid Laurier University.<br />
There will be opportunities<br />
