“The underlying passion of mine is to spread the Cree Language, the language of my people nation-wide.” - Sherryl Sewepagaham, composer
After 30 years of commissioning new works and bringing groundbreaking music to Vancouver audiences, musica intima has curated a new body of repertoire from a plurality of diverse voices - our new canon. We want to share this canon created by friends of mi past and present, with you, our beloved audience.
Experience the backbone of musica intima’s repertoire, and join us for a glass of wine at an informal evening exploring some of our favourites!
“I am exploring how I can be an empowered voice for the various communities I identify with and represent. I envision my music from Page to Performance, through Pedagogy, and am finding ways to be supportive of those who are allies for cultural acknowledgement of repertoire programming of my music.”
- Tracy Wong, composer
The New Canon will also be presented in Abbotsford, on September 20, 2024, at the Matsqui Centennial Auditorium. Tickets for that concert can be purchased through Valley Concert Society.
With music by Ian Cusson, Sherryl Sewepagaham, Tracy Wong, Dominique Fils-Aime, Nicholas Kelly, and more, come launch the 24/25 season with us! The New Canon is pay-what-you-can - register today in our shop!
“You start with emotion, and that gives you melody and rhythm, and then comes feeling and words. Feeling is the key, the heart is the rhythm, and you follow with your heart.”
- Dominique Fils-Aimé, composer
The New Canon is generously supported by the Province of British Columbia, through the BC Fairs, Festivals, and Events initiative, and by the SOCAN Foundation.
