Vancouver saxophonist and composer Colin MacDonald presents a concert of original and exciting post-minimalist music for 12-piece chamber ensemble with The Colin MacDonald Pocket Orchestra. Ensemble pianist Anna Levy will be featured in the North American premiere of Fantaisie by Bulgarian composer Benzion Eliezer, for piano and symphonic jazz orchestra.

The memory of British composer Steve Martland will be celebrated in the energetic works Kick and Mr. Anderson’s Pavane, alongside fresh compositions by CMPO ensemble members Brad Muirhead, Stefan Hintersteininger, and Colin MacDonald, and a new arrangement of Michael Nyman’s Knowing the Ropes.

Thank you to the many (11,000+) visitors who regularly drop by and access the resources on this blog. Your patience during this annual maintenance cycle is much appreciated.
