I'm very excited about our upcoming Continuum Consort recital on February 27, 2011!  Elizabeth MacIsaac, Douglas Hensley and I are presenting this concert as part of the VCM Faculty Series, which has been reinstated this year after being on hold for the past few years.  The programme, Dance of the Rain, features works for soprano, flute and guitar by Frank Martin, Udo Kasemets, John Armstrong, Priaulx Rainier, Willy Burkhard and Henk Badings composed between 1944 and 1984.  We have been very busy rehearsing for this concert - there is a lot of new music to learn!  What I like most about this concert is that although the music is modern by definition, it is very lyrical and accessible for the audience.  The poetry is fantastic and the music isn't bad, either!  Check out the Continuum Consort's website for more info!
