Here comes the one-and-only Now Hear This Festival! This year we’re bringing together new opera, avant-jazz, contemporary dance, free improvisation, chamber music, spectacular multi-media performances, and more. With work that is challenging and profound, the festival is a brilliant, creative celebration of the diverse artists and sound-based practices for which our city is known!
The first weekend kicks off Friday June 6 with an explosive evening of improvised music led by idiosyncratic drummer Ron de Jong. On Saturday June 7 we have a multimedia opera, Out Loud! created by guests Terri Hron, Helen Pridmore, and Jennifer Beattie, with live electronics, and a chorus of local improvisers. Sunday June 8, brings a retrospective concert of chamber music and premieres by one of the great musical personalities of our city, George Andrix, with some of his favourite groups, bok brass, WindRose Trio, and The Strathcona String Quartet.
Our second weekend brings a heady double header on Friday and Saturday, as we feature, Here-Hearing, two triple bills of performances by Amiskwaciy-wâskahikan (Edmonton) artists. These shows are bound to surprise and excite all who attend, with risky, brilliant work including new guitar music, electronic music, dance, multimedia, harp and electronics, and… a whole bunch of tvs, telephones, toys, and more!
Conveniently scheduled over two weekends, the festival schedule is relaxed, and it’s easy to take in all of the shows, so grab a pass, and come join us for this great start to the summer solstice season!
