Volume 25 Issue 3 - November 2019
On the slim chance you might not have already heard the news, Estonian Canadian composing giant Udo Kasemets was born the same year that Leo Thermin invented the theremin --1919. Which means this is the centenary year for both of them, and both are being celebrated in style, as Andrew Timar and MJ Buell respectively explain. And that's just a taste of a bustling November, with enough coverage of music of both the delectably substantial and delightfully silly on hand to satisfy one and all.

I took this photograph during the dress rehearsal of<br />
Shanawdithit, produced by Tapestry Opera, at the Joey and<br />
Toby Tanenbaum Opera Centre, in May <strong>2019</strong>. Between the<br />
bold courage of the character and the elegant poise of the<br />
performer, this peak moment was clearly deserving the ‘hero<br />
shot’ treatment. Marion looked up at the light and I looked up<br />
at her. No-brainer. — Dahlia Katz<br />
