presented by Edmonton Symphony Orchestra
Thursday April 25, 7:30 pm
Winspear Centre, Edmonton
We’re just two weeks away from returning to the Winspear as guests of the ESO, in a concert that will feature a reprise of Stuart Beatch’s Chosen Family, commissioned this season from our composer-in-residence and premiered in January.
In a program curated by conductor Alex Prior, also featuring Ballet Edmonton and the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, Chronos will present Chosen Family as a “solo” set in the concert.
Setting four deeply personal memorial texts by Victoria-based poet John Barton, this new work was received with great enthusiasm by our audience in January. Portions of the premiere performance have been seen on video by audiences around the world, and premieres are already planned in other parts of Canada this spring.
