Thursday October 22
● 8:00: Tafelmusik. Passions of the Soul.
A livestreamed event curated and directed
by Elisa Citterio. Bliss, grief, delight: experience
a kaleidoscope of emotions with 18thcentury
music that will open your heart and
mind. This concert is a microcosm of our season
theme, “Passions of the Soul.” In their
quest to awe and inspire, 18th-century composers
strove to describe the desires of the
soul and touch the hearts of listeners with
poignant and captivating music. Works featured
include Lalande’s Chaconne (inspired
by the magnificent fountains of Versailles);
Locatelli’s Sinfonia Funebre, and Telemann’s
suite La Bourse, an irreverent depiction of
the roller-coaster of emotions experienced
by investors in the stock market. Single ticket
purchasers will be able to re-access the concert
for a full 24 hours after the original
broadcast time. You can revisit your ticket
link, contained in your confirmation email, to
watch until October 23, 2020 at 7:59pm. $30
+ service fees. Box Office: 1-833-964-6337.

● 8:00: Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony.
KWS Goes Online: Schubert and the Swedish
Mozart. Andrei Feher, conductor. Kraus:
Symphony in c; Schubert: Symphony No.5 in
B-flat. Kraus has often been referred to as
“the Swedish Mozart,” and while a talented
composer in his own right, is overshadowed
in popular memory by his famous contemporary.
His Symphony in C is stormy and dramatic,
full of turbulent passion. Schubert
was infatuated with Mozart, but in contrast
to Kraus’s symphony, his Symphony No.5 is
light and joyfully elegant. Purchase tickets at
tickets.kwsymphony.ca/reimagined/2809.

● 7:00: New Adventures in Sound Art
and Charles Street Video. Adeva (version000_01):
Electronic Music and Video
Performance by Debashis Sinha. Debashis
Sinha’s explorations of how his Bengali heritage
can manifest through the toolset of contemporary
electronic music continues with
this livestream performance. This is a project
started in 2019 at the MUTEK JP AI Music Lab,
where Sinha began exploring machine learning
and AI and their applications in sound,
and where he realized their use as a dramaturgical
tool in the story-based explorations
and re-imaginings of Hindu myth he has been
creating for nearly two decades. The text
and sound world of the Vedas (Hindu scriptures)
is subjected to machine learning algorithms
and processes to create content that
lies just beyond the reach of human comprehension
— a piecing together of half-understood
and half-perceived bits of wisdom that
is reconstructed by Sinha, and the listener in
the moment of performance. The performance
will be live-streamed over YouTube with
Q&A discussion taking place afterwards on
the Whereby platform. It is a co-presentation
of New Adventures in Sound Art (NAISA) and
Charles Street Video. Online location issued
after Advance Registration at naisa.ca/purchase-tickets/.
