Ensemble, Les Couscous Bénévoles - or the "Benevolent Cuckoos" - takes its name from a harpsichord piece by François Couperin. Comprised of some of Canada's most respected players in the field of early music, the Toronto-based ensemble is committed to performing both the great favourites and lesser known works of the Baroque and early Classical eras.
Five new works by Peter Hatch featuring the Canadian Chamber Ensemble conducted by Daniel Warren, the Penderecki String Quartet, and harpsichordist Cynthia Hiebert.
Gathering brings together the most exceptional music and video art of Toronto duo Smash and Teeny, created live in performance, studio and site-specific outdoor locations in Canada, the U.S. and England between 2001-2003.

In these well-programmed songs for baritone, Gentle Lady, features two distinguished composers of the 20th century whose working lives were centered in Western Canada. The essential lyricism of Jean Coulthard and the clarity and boldness of expression characteristic of Violet Archer seems somehow rooted in this dynamic geography even as these songs travel in both time and place, seeking a contrast of inspiration.
A faded photo, a sound, an object such as an old book or a toy, a grave, a dream, an evening alone - any of these things can carry us back into the shadowy past, sometimes even far away into ancient times.Titre
