In partnership with St. James Cathedral Centre Event Venue.
Experience Hans Abrahamsen’s 21st-century masterpiece, Schnee (or ‘Snow’) performed beside windows overlooking Toronto’s tranquil winter landscape. This 50-minute work draws listeners into Abrahamsen’s crystalline sound world, where the unique beauty of snow is reflected in both serene and explosive musical textures.
Complementing Schnee, the evening will feature a world premiere by internationally celebrated composer Linda Catlin Smith, as well as Black Ice, a brand new composition by NMC’s Composer-in-Residence, Rashaan Allwood. This evening promises shimmering, exceptional music, as NMC’s world-class musicians bring the beauty of winter to life through music.
