BEING PASCAL DUSAPIN - Chamber Music

Featuring sopranos Danika Lorén and Hillary Jean Young, cellist Peter Eom, percussionist Louis Pino, and clarinetist Brad Cherwin, The Happenstancers present their latest programme, BEING PASCAL DUSAPIN, in Toronto on April 6th at 7:30 pm, at Redeemer Lutheran Church (1691 Bloor Street West).

Charting a course from without to within and back again, The Happenstancers present a portrait concert in palindromic form. In BEING PASCAL DUSAPIN, chamber works by the French master are used to imagine an entry-path to the deepest crevices of the composer’s mind.

By experiencing these most personal (and searing) musical gestures, The Happenstancers propose we can inhabit the depths of the artist’s psyche. With evocative lighting by Billy Wong and staging elements for each performer, this interior space is conjured.

In this concert, Dusapin’s works of the last 35 years are framed by brief unpublished works for solo cello, written in dedication to him by young Canadian composer/conductor Samy Moussa and Kaija Saariaho.
