2024/2025 promises to be a very exciting season with project premieres and new endeavours in the works.
Togni’s Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom will be premiered by the Elmer Iseler Singers and The Elora Singers at St. Basil’s Church in Toronto on Nov. 8th, and performed again in Guelph at the Basilica of Our Lady Immaculate on Nov. 10th. There is a planned commercial recording to be released of the work in 2025.
This coming May 2025, at this year’s Scotia Festival in Halifax NS, The Elora Singers and bass clarinetist Jeff Reilly will be performing Peter-Anthony’s Voice of the Weaver. This is a collaboration between Peter-Anthony and the Mi’kmaq poet Mary Louise Martin. During the festival there will also be a performance of the work at the Millbrook Reservation with Alan Syliboy and indigenous drummers and dancers! The Elora Singers plan to release a commercial recording of the work in 2025.
On November 6th 2024, Blackwood will be performing a program called Lost and Found at Conrad Grebel in Waterloo as part of their Noon Hour Concert series. Blackwood’s program is atmospheric music performed on bass clarinet with piano: a haunting and atmospheric mix of new and old, composed and improvised on a unique foundation of jazz, Gregorian Chant and Minimalism. Crossing Europe-based modernist jazz masters like Ralph Towner with Greogrian Chant based works like Togni’s Ave Verum, to performing their own version of a Miles Davis classic, they defy stylistic boundaries with virtuosity, musicality and sensitivity.
