# Event Details - **Event Name**: Discover Canada by Train and Support Canadian Music - **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 21 Jun, 2026 at 10:00 am – Sun, 21 Jun, 2026 at 10:00 pm - **Event Description**: Join a VIA Rail Artist on Board on an excursion to the Rockies and support the launch of a recording of new music about Canadian wild spacesAbout this EventFLUTE IN THE WILDhttps://fluteinthewild.com/wild-canadian-music-train-adventureSome of you may know about my Flute in the Wild project, where I commission new pieces from Canadian composers inspired by their favourite Canadian wild space. I record them and make the scores available for all flutists to learn and play to share Canadian music-making.As part of this project I hire musicians, innovative filmmakers, sound engineers, cover designers, publicity and marketing professionals, and I travel to perform these pieces for new audiences.I released the first album in 2021 with the help of grants from FACTOR and Canada Council for the Arts and the Ontario Arts Council. All the arts have recently seen DRASTIC cuts in funding since then and many artists have been left with no support and this is where music-lovers come in.THE SECOND ALBUMThe second album in the project features western Canadian composers and wild spaces, and I’m so excited to launch it in Calgary! I have recorded all the new pieces, they are just beautiful, and I even wrote a piece of my own for flute and fx pedals that I know you’ll love.My goal has always been to celebrate and amplify Canadian artistic voices at home and internationally and I do this through personally connecting with musicians around the world, being a guest on podcasts, active social media activities, and performing.CROSS-COUNTRY BY TRAIN TO CELEBRATE CANADIAN MUSIC-MAKINGThis is why I am crossing the country by train from Toronto to Calgary, to connect with people along the way and get the word out that we have fantastic home-grown composers worth playing and listening to. I need some help now to get the message amplified that Canada has a rich resource of composers and performers!Help me connect East to West and support the recording release and performance of the Flute in the Wild, Western volume! I'll be travelling across the country meeting musicians and composers along the way with the help of PLAYING WHERE MY COMPOSERS WERE INSPIREDI will also be improvising and composing music in the same spaces that my composers were inspired by for the pieces they wrote for me! Playing in the same wild spaces will consist of improvisation for flute and hand drums/small percussion as I respond to the spaces that also inspired my composers. Any musicians joining me on the trip will be invited to also play once we are done.We will be able to play in two spots from the album:Jasper. Joseph Lai wrote a piece with three movements. Jasper on fire, Mt Edith Cavell, and Maligne Canyon. Alas the canyon is still inaccessible, but we will be honouring Jasper in a lovely spot once we debark the train.Foothills of the Rockies near Calgary. Sean Clarke wrote a piece recalling the sunrises at the foothills and we will find the prettiest spot to share the sunrise with you and improvise a musical experience.VIA RAIL ARTIST ON BOARDI am proud to have been chosen as a Artist on Board where I’ll be playing several times per day on board, at stations, and in the wild along my route to Calgary.
