The new group is the brainchild of UBC flute instructor Paolo Bortolussi, and its mandate is to mix works from talented academic composers””including, in concert one, the very admirable Howard Basha, Chen Yi, and Keith Hamel””with interdisciplinary input from choreographers, lighting designers, and video artists. Add a cast of familiar virtuosos, and it looks like a fine night out.
