The Georgia Straight proudly sponsors Sequitur

Vancouver New Music presents Sequitur at the Orpheum Annex (823 Seymour Street) on April 12 at 8 p.m.

Sequitur will feature new works inspired by pieces selected from VNM’s musical vaults. Jennifer Butler, Dorothy Chang, Owen Underhill, and Cameron Wilson have created new works that reference scores by iconic Canadian composers Barbara Pentland, Jean Coulthard, Rudolf Komorous, and Martin Bartlett.

The program will include Butler’s The tide rises, the tide falls inspired by Pentland’s Tides (1984), Chang’s Nocturne, in nine fragments inspired by Coulthard’s Poem (1947), Underhill’s The Curio Box inspired by Komorous’ The Seven Sides of Maxine’s Silver Die (1999), and Wilson’s New Work inspired by Bartlett’s The Nautical Almanac (1975).

Tickets to Sequitur are $35 (or $15 for students and seniors) and can be purchased online in advance.
