More informations

Saxophonist Allison Balcetis and pianist Sandra Joy Friesen began their collaborations in 2009, during their doctoral studies at the University of Alberta. They will perform two works, one by Italian-Canadian Giorgio Magnanensi, director of Vancouver New Music, called “Color Temporis” for prepared piano and baritone and alto saxophones. “Color Temporis” is a hectic, powerful, and visceral work written in 1992, but with a relevance and freshness that remains today. Magnanensi’s diverse artistic practice includes composition, conducting, improvisation, circuit bending and video art. He is artistic director of Vancouver New Music and Laboratorio, and he is lecturer at the School of Music of the Vancouver Community College. The second piece will be a world premiere, composed by Canadian Colin Labadie. After a successful collaboration, resulting in Labadie’s popular and powerful solo tenor saxophone piece, “Strata,” Balcetis, Friesen, and Labadie continue their collaboration in the chamber music setting. Labadie is a PhD candidate at the University of Alberta, working in Ontario.
