Description
In 2020, Piano Lunaire commission an extended work for solo piano from Christopher Mayo. The result has been the distinctive Reel, which now receives its world premiere in November 2024. Christopher Mayo has curated a finely-tuned program to complement his own centerpiece, including a new commission from British colleague, Charlie Piper: In Suspension
Further artistic connections for Mayo and Sherkin (who both spent time in the UK) feature a stunning solo work inspired by the surrealist painting, "The Melancholy of Departure," by Giorgio de Chirico; the music is composed by David Sawer.
Finally, the programme features the mystical and somewhat enigmatic, Corals of Valais (Toronto only) by Alison Cameron and notably: two lyrical, intimate piano dedications by Bruce A. Russell.
